I think part of the issue is that the kid wants to identify with Harry Potter, so when Harry eats bacon, it disrupts him from that level of reader identification. But the translator is correct; Harry is not Jewish, let alone observant of the laws of kashruth, and it would be wrong to deny Harry of his breakfast for the sake of the Jewish readers.
