Harry's "old nightmare"
A couple of times, we've had an editor say that "Harry's old nightmare", mentioned in this chapter, was "- actually its the laugh and his parents vanishing in a flash of green light after he looks in the mirror of erised". There is no mention that Harry had ever had nightmares about flashes of green light, and Harry's parents did not vanish in the Mirror Erised; how could they, after all, if the mirror shows "only your heart's desire"? In fact, no recurring nightmares are mentioned in the book at all; it's only with Order of the Phoenix that we start seeing a recurring nightmare, and there it isn't really his nightmare at all, but Voldemort's.
