I can spell properly now and do lots more!

Should it be ... "and do a lot more" or is the sentence already correct?

I've noticed that in the following sentence " The dormitory was completely silent, and, had he been less preoccupied, Harry have realised that the absence of Neville's usual snores meant that he was not the only one lying awake". There is an inversion of verb and subject in the second line of this paragraph and I've been always taught to tell the verb after the subject if I don't want make a question. So I don't understand because It's said "...; had he been less preoccupied...". I'd be very grateful to you if you could explain to me the why.
By the way maybe I have just made some mistakes. English is not my mother tongue. However I hope that you could help me.
Thank you very much.

Due to Yahoo's silly word attitude, will our whole dictionary change, for example a person who's parents are not married becomes born on the wrong side of the escutcheon, a female dog becomes a chienne, and you know what becomes my furry chat. Is this I want to know a subversive way to amalgamate all our languages, dieu ne connais pas how we are going to cope with chinese letters, its going to be a real born on the wrong side of the escutcheon.
