Harry was thinking about the Goblin Rebellions and goblins’ ongoing resentment at not being allowed to own wands and certain facts which hadn’t been in the first-year History textbook, which Harry had guessed at by pattern-matching and which Professor Flitwick had confirmed in a very quiet voice. Lord Voldemort had killed goblins as well as wizards—an incredibly stupid move on Lord Voldemort’s part, unless Harry was really missing something.
Of course, Harry is really missing something; and he should be noticing his confusion about this. It’s a failing that he isn’t. For some reason, he seems very resistant to the idea that Voldemort was actually smart. I wonder if Harry’s going to realize what he’s missing before the big final battle in which the villain monologues his secret plan.

It is hard for me to tell if this is that there is a big secret plan or more lampshading of problems with the original source material.
I used to think like this, but recently I’ve updated into seeing everything as potential foreshadowing.
I think the things that’s missing is that we or Harry don’t know Voldemorts goals.
