I don't read the Harry Potter books, but I've seen all the movie's, (Isay most of the latest one on the plane home from Chicago) so I have some issues maybe you Potterphiles can answer.
1. Why is the bad guy always the defense against the dark arts teacher? Why can't Hogwarts better it's screening process? When Harry's class graduates from Hogwarts, they will have had no training against the dark arts because all their teachers have been Voldemort's minions? If Mad Eye Moody was Voldemort or his minion (i forget) why was he so nice to Neville Longbottom?
2. Where was the Tri Wizard tournament in the fist book? Every book seems to introduce some previously unknown element to the magical universe that make everything before it seem kind of silly. In Goblet of Fire, its indicated that every 3 years the Tri Wizard tournament is held , but that would mean that it wouldv'e been going on during Sorcerer's Stone, but you didn't hear anything about it? Then there is the train to Hogwarts, which got replaced by Flu Powder, which got replaced by Port Keys. I realize we can't expect the author to stick completely to the constraints she set up in the first book, but it makes everything feel a bit inconsistent.
3. Why does Harry end up going back the the Dursely's every year. Doesn't anyone have a couch the kid can flop on for the summer? What happened to the Weasely's pad? Did they send him packing or what?
