A lot of people slam JK for poor math skills, but I'd like to point out what she did right.

"The Letters From No One" started one Wednesday, and accounted for 7 days, ending on Harry's birthday (which fell on a Wednesday in 1991). Genius.

Well, that's quite something, isn't it. I mean, she's busy writing a book, she hasn't got time to calculate everything...

Thankfully we read the books for entertainment and not adding up dates (unless that happens to entertain you...woo.)
