Hi, Dallas Hinton!
I read your message from 18.02.2025 13:56

 AK>> Harry went to bed with his head buzzing with the same
 AK>> question. Neville was snoring loudly, but Harry couldn't
 AK>> sleep. ----- The end of the citation -----

 AK>> "But Harry couldn't sleep"?

 AK>> Probably, IMHO, I guess I can rephrase it:
 AK>> Despite of Neville's snoring loudly Hurry couldn't sleep.

 DH> No, I think the implication is that Harry was thinking too much
 DH> to sleep!

It occurred to me another explanation -- probably the author wanted to say
this:

"Neville was fast asleep, but Harry couldn't sleep.
;-)

Bye, Dallas!
