I like these changes to the story. And I think Rowling would actually be open to making them while she was drafting the story. She had tons of pages of preparatory writings spelling out the crafting of the world and vast troves of information about even the most minor aspect of the Wizarding world. She also was adamant about certain aspects of the plot. But I don’t think she’d mind changing some things like this to improve characterization. Harry was very one-note in the story. Anything he can do to make him more likable would be nice. Since the MC has access to the future internet, he should give her a complete list of the most common criticisms for the upcoming books. It might help her.
