Theory on Thestrals

_______________________________________________________________

Hello There!
True. Harry could not see the Threstrals in 3rd Yr. But hidden in book 5
somewhere (I can’t remember exactly) it says Harry was in his cot when Lily was
killed and therefore couldn’t see it, but could hear it all the same!
Problem solved!

Yes your absolutely right.  I think it was at the Edinburgh film festival that JK Rowling said that Harry was indeed in his cot and could not have witnessed his parent’s death.  I think JK also said that for a person to be able to see thestrals the death they witness must first 'sink in'.  So when Harry was only one he would not have had a full understanding of what was happening, but when he witnesses Cedric's death he fully understands what is happening.  So after this point Harry has the ability to see thestrals.
