Or JKR is really that blind to how bad some of the things she wrote for laughs and drama, or the plotholes she left behind would really be in the Real World.

Someone on FF.net has a huge long essay on the profile about how details in the early books written as comedic kid's books' exaggerated situations really fall down as the series starts to get more dark and serious in the later books.

Things like how the Dursleys treat Harry get waved off as being "Not That Bad" and apparently somewhere she said something about uncomfortable dinners Harry's family would have with them later in life. No, if someone was treated the way Harry was IRL, not only would they not be half as mentally healthy as Harry, but they would either cut ties with that family totally, or there is really something even more wrong with them that they continue subjecting themselves to that, not to mention subjecting wife and children to those relatives.

That's not even touching the problems with the romances, which none are shown to have decent development. That is probably the reason Harmonian writers are so very fond of accusing Ron and Ginny of dosing Harry and Hermione with potions.
