<However, to ramble on,
if you were talking about ex-students of Hogwarts, I reckon alumni would be
fine - it sounds exactly right, very Dumbledore, and with all the Latin
etymology and names floating around the school anyway, alumni should fit
right in...just remember it's men who are alumni and (pl.) alumnus, and if
you're tallking specifically about women it's alumna and (pl.) alumnae.>
Er, you mized up the singular and the plural for men. One alumnus, two alumni.
