Can't remember the page, but one of the client endorsements on Filch's
magic-by-mail course is listed as "warlock," which seems to jar with the
notion that they're elected....

I remember going "damn!" when I noticed that, because I liked the way we'd
figured it out. Poop. Perhaps it's like Latino, hispanic, etc., which have
slight variations of meaning but are often used interchangeably.
