Cowl is Justin reboot
groinkick:
Here is a different question along the same line... May Harry have siblings who are no longer alive?
raidem:
Depending on how Jim interpreted and then thought while responding to the question, there may be some wiggle room. We do know that Thomas does have siblings. It could be that Harry has siblings but not on his mother's side to be symmetric in logic. Harry AND Thomas wouldn't have any full siblings, they aren't even full ones. Harry AND Thomas might have a half sibling out there but it would contradict woj but if so would be consistent with woj that says Jim lies.
peregrine:
You'd think that if Malcolm had had any kids, he'd have mentioned it at some point. Like when he comes back to visit Harry after he's dead.
Fcrate:
Okay, this is something that's been bothering me in the series. Wizards live 300-400 years, right? Why then is Harry showing signs of aging at 40 or so? According to Butters, his cells make near perfect copies, so he should be like 23-25 yo physically.

It doesn't seem that reasonable to me. In camp Kaboom flashback during White Night, Luccio mentions trouble adjusting to the new body, magically as well as physically; saying "Of course, it had been a hundred and forty years since I'd put up with a monthly cycle."

Harry lampshades the answer to that himself - it's not so much aging as accumulated injuries that his healing is only keeping up with.
