It's easier, emotionally, I think, for me to overlook the parts that, corrections and explanations later (like those barberio notes) nothwithstanding, don't make sense to me in Harry Potter because I *didn't* have to live through such a school system as you did. It's easier emotionally for me to note and file away the inconsistencies and the unpleasant bits and not let them get in the way of enjoying the neato bits of HP --of which there are not a few.
There's many perfectly reasonable ways to look at it; I guess for me, I figure if I'm aiming simply to have a good time, and rose-colored-shades help, why not wear 'em? :-)
