I've pointed this out a lot. There seem to be multiple narrators in Umineko. Reread the closet scene as an example. It switches from Natsuhi saying "I did this" to an observer saying "she did this". There is the third person narrator, Battler as a narrator, and Natsuhi. I don't know of any specific scenes where Erika narrates anything except maybe when she is introduced.
Battler talks about this in the ???? also. He asks himself if it's possible to solve a mystery written by someone who does not have an impartial perspective. There are only small pieces that might lead to an answer from what he says.
