The more I think about it, the more an even more rational version of a HP-fanfic should be called “Harry Potter and the Time Turners”. Probably less entertaining, but that’s the downside when you take your characters’ intellect seriously …
Eliezer has said somewhere that if Harry were written as a perfect rationalist, he would be too ridiculously super-powerful for an interesting story in that universe to be possible. Harry is simply at the level he is, and it is not really a fault in him or the story that he is not further advanced along the path than he is.
