Yeah there's a ton of stuff in the books like this. That's why I try not to think about it too much.

Take Quidditch for instance. That's the dumbest game I've ever heard of. It almost never matters what the other players do because way too many points are given to the team that gets the snitch. And why would the seeker ever catch the snitch when his team is more than 150 points behind?

Also, anyone have an answer to this question I posed earlier?

What about the chapter in HBP when Snape tells Bellatrix that the information he gave Voldemort led to the death of Emmeline Vance? Was he lying about that, or did he really cause the death of an innocent person in order to maintain his cover? I'm recalling this from memory so I may have forgotten some detail that answers my question.
