This is been on my mind for a week non stop, and I m losing precious sleep hours. If lily was killed in the same room as Harry was-which we know because she wanted to be close to protect her son- he definitely saw her dying, how come he couldn’t see the thestrals until after 5 the year when Sirius went though the veil? Luna could. So, why not Harry?

Well either bc of a plothole, or bc Harry’s eyes are garbage so all he saw were some blurry shapes? Idk, he probably didn’t have glasses as a baby so that’s the only thing I can think of

i think i read somewhere that it was bc he was too young to understand that lily died? as a baby he didnt know what death was and therefore couldnt recognize it

and apparently that doesnt count for theastrals
