Harry is not meant to be a logically omniscient god who never makes any mistakes. Even on its own terms, “thirty-five years of hard work” is really not that long, nowhere near long enough for Harry to rightly believe the problem is so hard that magic must be pulling some crazy impossible to understand bullshit to accomplish the feat, and transparently so. Harry’s young, and in fact doesn’t have much historical perspective.
