   Harry, Ron, and Hermione are generally very good at thinking their   
   plans through and making sure they make sense, but a lack of   
   perspective on the outside world has nearly done them in twice in   
   recent weeks.   
      
   First, when cornered by Snatchers, Hermione made sure to alter Harry¡¦s   
   appearance but not her own ¡V despite the fact that she¡¦d been spotted   
   with him by Death Eaters at Xeno Lovegood¡¦s, ensuring the fact that   
   her face would be all over the lists of most wanted criminals. Sure   
   enough, it was Hermione who was recognized by the Snatchers, and   
   again by Bellatrix.   
      
   Now, it seems the trio similarly hasn¡¦t stopped to think what must be   
   going on at Gringotts. They know Bellatrix is terrified that her   
   vault¡¦s security has been compromised, and they know Gringotts is   
   under Death Eater control. So why didn¡¦t they stop to consider the   
   fact that Bellatrix might have warned the bank an imposter might be   
   coming?   
      
   They are lucky indeed to have escaped, and here¡¦s hoping they¡¦ll take   
   the lessons to heart and realize...   
      
   ...the world around them doesn¡¦t stay still just because they aren¡¦t   
   aware of its changes.
