Well I'm British and quite frankly I'm not insulted by the 
word "Bloody", Kids use far worse words. I'm not insulted by "Arse" 
either, I think that both these words are evident in everyday 
language whether considered vulgar or not. The use of both these 
words for me actually adds a bit of reality to the movie as most kids 
are not so well spoken as we would hope. I know that people will say 
that the film is not supposed to reflect reality as such but in a way 
we still have to believe in it, otherwise it would be a pointless 
exercise.
Funny you should say that about Malfoy, at first I thought he was 
dark haired too, it was not until the fourth book that I realised he 
was not dark haired but indeed blond like his mother and his father.
