"I still want to figure out the approxmiate exchange rate between Galleons
and Dollars, or galleons and pounds.

The only way I can think of doing this is to find items in the books
which are given exact prices, and compare them to what the same items
might cost in muggle money"

In PoA Hermione says she has 10 Galleons left, which her parents have
given her to get a birthday present. With this she gets Crookshanks. I
hope this helps you work out a rough exchange rate. I am unsure on how
much a cat would cost from a pet store so will leave it to someone else
to work out how much that furball would cost in muggle money.

PS: I do not like cats - I am allergic to them! Crookshanks is almost
likeable as cats go!
