I see your point. It just seems that JKR might be clever enough to fit a
bunch of anagrams in that one excerpt, and hide a clue in plain sight.

To see why I don't consider anagrams to be of much significance, except
when buttressed by more important non-wordplay clues, try pumping any
longish phrase through the Internet Anagram Server and seeing how many
spurious anagrams come up. If you haven't thought about combinatorial
explosions before, the results may be startling.
