More Plothole Complaints

The books are filled with plotholes. Hindsight is 20/10.

How about the fact that, while Draco was busy fixing the cabinets, Voldemort didn't think to have a Potions Master mix up some Felix Felicis for the Death Eaters invading the castle? (Hmmm, maybe they did. Maybe that's why they succeeded in getting to Dumbledore!)

Or the fact no one has offered to give Harry a vial to keep with him in case he meets Voldemort? Or why didn't Dumbledore (or anyone else for that matter) ever teach Harry to Apparate? That should have been the first thing to teach him once he demonstrated he was capable of learning advanced magic. Voldemort: "At last, Potter! I have you..." <crack!> "WTF? Where'd he go?"

And what about a Time-turner for Harry? I know the time-turners are generally not to be used. But if Hermione could get permission to use one for extra classes, how hard could it be to get Harry permission to use one to battle Voldemort when the fate of wizard might depend on Harry's success?

And why didn't Sirius ever try to contact Harry or Dumbledore for an entire YEAR after escaping Azkaban? Maybe no one would have believed him, but a quick "I was framed!" note might have cast some doubts. And don't give me that insanity excuse. He was clear minded enough to recognize Pettigrew in his animagus form, AND follow him to Hogwarts, AND take the time to watch Harry play Quidditch.
