But then, Pigwidgeon was at the Burrow all year, wasn't he? Why didn't anybody use him to contact the trio?
Presumably one of the wards that Hermione cast was something that blocked post owls. Otherwise one could grab any magical owl and address a letter to 'Harry Potter'.
That self-firing wand was just a horrible horrible deus ex machina device. Rowling must be ashamed. Well, I can't conceive of any intelligent author not being so.
