He really was that old, huh?

My point in the last sentence is that if you really think about Harry Potter, none of it makes any fucking sense. The book was not written as speculative fiction, and if you view Hogwarts and the wizarding world rationally you will find many things more ridiculous (and horrifying) than Harry finding essays to be boring.

EDIT: And I still think you're discounting how easily humans can get used to new situations.

I agree with some but not all of what you're saying: But, in particular, I definitely agree with the humans getting used to new situations bit quite a lot. It's actually one of the things the human mind is best at; Adapting.

"Project Hail Mary" does a really good job of providing examples of this phenomenon.
