>>>BTW, did you notice that at the ball Prof Sinistra is dancing with
a male teacher?! Did Sinistra -- like Tip/Ozma in the Oz books -- get
a magical sex change?

Assumptions, assumptions. Do you know that old saying about how when you
ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U and ME? I am not trying to be preachy
here, I also assumed before reading GoF that Sinistra was male, despite
the fact that there is no indication of Sinistras gender in the earlier
books. So, Prof. Sinistra may well be a woman. No, strike that -- she
would not be a woman but a witch. However, while I am busy advocating not
making assumptions, I have to add that it is still possible that Sinistra
is male and is dancing with another male. This is not illegal, immoral,
impossible or even particularly uncommon in the muggle world, and the
wizarding seems to follow many aspects of contemporary muggle culture.

Please note that I am just trying to answer Daves question. I dont
mean to start a political discussion on sexism, gay rights or any other
political topic, which although it would be interesting to me, does not
(IMO) belong here.
