My idea was that Harry converted the trapper mitt idea to a glove. But the Trapeze had an interesting history in that it was snubbed for the XPG models for awhile until the Wizard of Oz brought it back.
The Trapeze glove, to me, provides a "catching experience" unlike the normal hinged glove the A2s XPGs etc. It's the action of that "6th Finger" that mostly accomplishes this feeling.
