Harry Potter plot hole!

You always hear people saying there are discrepencies in the Harry Potter books, but I have truly found a plot hole.

It is a major plot hole, I have noticed, in the Harry Potter series...A very serious one.

Everyone's always talking about how much Harry looks like his father, even Hagrid in the first book.

Molly and Arthur were in the order with Harry's parents ie James.

Why didn't Molly recognise Harry at Kings Cross station?

He has the same black, sticking-up hair. And the scar!

And just look at the moment Fred and George told Molly that he was Harry Potter.

my thought is that she had never seen harry as a baby. And that would be because that James and Lily, went into hiding right after Harry was born.
Just my thoughts.
Good point though

maybe...DUH...she was a little flustered with five children hovering over her, one getting on the train for the first time. She didn't have enough time to notice! I mean,read the passage again. You could soooo tell she had her hands tied up.

Yeah I agree with mobe0593. That's a good thought though. But you have to imagine that it's been years since she had seen the Potters too. Memories fade. :)

I thought exactly what mobe0593 and shortynme.

My siblings and me (3 of us) are in public, it's usually the friend who approaches US. My mom doesn't really notice b/c we make her busy. Imagine haveing King's Cross, more people, first time, loads of kids, things to make sure they have, and other things. Now, THAT is a hassle.
