I assume that, as Rowling did, you'll drop us a few paragraphs of writing in five/ten years, which naturally you couldn't keep to yourself. I would bet money, but will not remember (or care) for that long.
If there's a nit to pick, it's that the mockery of canon-Potter was way too blatant to be amusing. Otherwise, almost perfect work.
Why does it being blatant mean it is no longer humorous? Sure, a subtle joke can be more humorous for its subtlety, but not being subtle doesn't necessarily preclude a joke's enjoyment.
There are many forms, and EY is probably trying catering to a range of people's sense of humour.
You did actually read the part where Hermione says: "What if Harry Potter behaved exactly like canon, Quidditch, Ron Weasley, etc! Ha ha ha!"
