A total failure in trying to look at the story from her point of view which is necessary to explain her actions.

For the moment. Elaine's story exists in the grey with a big ole question mark. I feel strongly that she is Kumori. But, I have a suspicious nature and only at the conclusion of her life or the series will that question mark be removed.

Why would we want to do that ?
If anything, I think the biggest problem I have with debating what's really going on in the DV is people being too attached to looking at things from specific points of view, particularly Harry's.

It is called empathy and it is a valuable tool to get an understanding of someones motives. It is easy to feel empathy with the narrator so people believe him even if he is an unreliable narrator or in this case a yong somewhat egocentric adolescent. But if you want a better understanding of the motives of the other characters in the book you have to place yourself in their shoes.
