To be sure, in civilized England, where he has a measure of solemnity and
dignity left.

I'm assuming the presents get there in the same way, whatever that is, that
their trunks of stuff get there at the start of each semester. Probably the
folks from home send presents, mayhap to a special "present" subaddress, and
they get stashed in some big magical holdy-place until Christmas, when the
mystery agent (I think you're probably right, house elves) gets them to the
(foots?)(feet?) of the beds.
