I think that Shellys questions are really interesting, but I also think
that if we start down this path we will go nuts. The wizarding world
does not seem to have any sort of economy at all. They do not seem to
produce or trade much of anything, and all their retail business seems
to involve products which have little added value (in the economic
sense). A very large percentage seem to work for the MOM. There is no
explanation of how families such as the Malfoys or the Potters obtained
their fortunes. However, this is JKRs world, and it should not have to
make sense. After all, the HP books are FICTION, much as we would prefer
otherwise (sigh).
