<g> I know what you mean, I work from home and I'm on the web a 
lot..its a bit too easy to nip in to the catalogue for half an hour!

>From memory, I don't think it is ancient magic exactly. People have 
*interpreted* it that way, but it seems to me more a sort of moral 
code or cultural obligation within the WW. Would it be possible to 
code it to either Snape or Pettigrew (assume the discussion refers to 
one of them) ? Or possibly we should have a more explicit category 
within section 1 somewhere ? Want to suggest a category somewhere?
