All along I planned to have <explanation deleted> at the end of this one. In the end I decided it's better not to have <explanation deleted>, but to allow the reader to fill in the gaps.
When I decided to delete that bit of material from the comic, I planned to mention it explicitly in the annotation. In the end I decided it's better not to mention what it was that I removed in the annotation, because that would kind of defeat the purpose of having removed it in the first place. So I deleted it from the annotation as well, so the reader can fill in the gaps in the comic without being prejudiced by what I say in the annotation.
And then I considered deleting parts of the paragraph above and making things even more circular and self-referential, but that was just being silly.
Nowadays it's possible to come across an adult who indeed read the Harry Potter series while growing up as a child, but in 2006 not so much.
Oh, and the cryptic deleted explanation mentioned above really isn't that obscure or difficult. The first thing you thought of is probably correct.
