Or some intentional continuity errors because of some multiverse or time travel plot element. I don't really see that, but a lot of people think so.

There's a WOJ about a very small number of continuity changes being a Hint towards something.  In a lot of cases though, it does come down to he forgets which version of some previous book was a draft and which got published.

I don't recall that one.

I think Lara only has something to win by saying no every time Harry asks if she knows something about magic. Then she gets to learn by having him explain it and maybe some day have an edge because Harry thinks she has no knowledge of magic when actually she has some.

I cannot see what she has to win by saying yes, she knows.

I think it is understandable that Harry forgot with the state he is in.

Perhaps; but can she be sure of his state?
Lara, after all:  was also present!
So she knows that Harry knows, somewhere inside.

As he "comes back to himself," she must realize that Harry's going to recognize that she has been "playing dumb" (if that's what was going on).

(of course, now that Harry has "turned the tables," that may not matter so much)
