MOVIE: That was bloody brilliant! Inappropriate swear-words?

I noticed a few people have been claiming this was cute.  But am I 
the only one who's taking exception to an 11 year old using that kind 
of language in front of a teacher?   It bothers me slightly that 
Steve Kloves doesn't seem to have bothered determining the acceptable 
boundaries of pupil-teacher language barriers before he wrote the 
script.  When I was 15 I got a detention for saying bloody in class, 
(even whispered below my breath to the boy I was mixing chemicals 
with).  I frankly think Ron is being out of order in this sequence.  
I admit fully that 11 year olds know and use much worse swearwords 
amongst themselves (I know I did) ... but to a teacher.  I just 
wouldn't have dared, even to one of my nicer teachers, and McGonagall 
is hardly easy going now, is she?
