That isn't my question though. I just thought it was an odd choice for Rowling to select 6 others to look like Harry versus Harry looking like someone who already has a twin. The way it was written was comical. I enjoyed it, but it was a more complex solution than a more simple way of keeping Harry safe - that's all.
I was answering AHacker's question about the polyjuice potion. It just caught my eye.

As to your question. It probably would have been simpler, but less dramatic. Like if they'd all been on brooms. I was wondering why she didn't have them all traveling in identical fashions instead of this and that. Seems a bit clumsy and way too easy to weed them out.
