Pottermore watermarks each book sold then sends the watermarked file to Amazon who add it to the user's Kindle cloud. Then, like every other DRM'd ebook, it gets individually converted and encrypted at sync time to the device or app it is intended for.

So yes, you get both Pottermore watermarking and Kindle encryption.

Considering that the user's entire Kindle account (with multiple apps and gadgets and infinite number of syncs and downloads) only counts as one Pottermore download it is a reasonable setup.
Amazon doesn't add DRM to your personal ebooks, so you are wrong.
