Sorry, I was used to your fic's to higher standards of believability of human behavior than canon's.
I must be missing something, because even Harry had trouble being taken seriously by most adults for most of the story, and no other (first-year) children were anywhere near his level. Yet suddenly so many of them seem to be taken seriously by their relatives and by all the most powerful wizards. And they didn't even have to save the Earth from the Formics.
It's still the culture that throws kids on a Hippogryff and tells them to get going.
And as Daphne notes in her thoughts, the children are standing in for their parents and speaking their parents' orders; they are acting as spokespersons for their families, and the others are treating them as such.
