>>Part of the point is, though, really, that wearing a school uniform

are used to it. In a school where kids are expected to be neat and
tidy and properly dressed, they will tend to stay that way.

Yes, but not only would Hagrid have probably not cared how the kids
were dressed, but his class is outdoors. Since this class takes place
on the first or second day of school (right?), that means that it was
late summer.

Although it doesn't say so in the book, I would assume that it's at
least warm out, if not hot, and the school robes probably make you
heat up. I can see people taking off their robes, unbuttoning their
shirts and loosening their ties if they can. I know I would.  :)

And I think the costumes were great! I loved the new school uniforms,
and at first the idea that the Slytherins wore Muggle-style clothes
bugged me, but if you think about it, the clothes aren't entirely
Muggle-ish. 

There's an old-fashioned sense to Draco's clothes, as if he's but
grudgingly wearing them in the first place. He looks more 1940's to me
(especially his winter outfit) than a kid from 2004. Besides, while
the Malfoy's disdain everything Muggle, who's to say that a Wizard
didn't invent pants, or that a Wizard didn't design Malfoy's outfit?  :p

Picky, picky.  :)  Also, as far as Hermione, Ron and Harry being in
street clothes, I believe JKR states that when the kids are not doing
academic activities, they wear their regular clothes and not the uniform.
