Always before, I had been under the impression that for the most part,
Hogwarts was a school with little diversity (set apart from muggles
and wizards...). This acually upset me a little, as I am a lover of
diversity. But as I'm now re-reading the first book, and picking up
LOTS of new trivial stuff, it describes Lee Jordan (the twin's friend)
as having dreadlocks (yes yes, I know white boys can have dreadlocks,
too) and in the sorting process says, "'Thomas, Dean,' a Black boy even
taller than Ron..." And what about Cho Chang? Is there the possibility
of her being Asian? Just a few thoughts I've been pondering on...does
anyone have any insights?
