Wizarding Teabags?

No: HPFGUIDX 1473

DO WIZARDS USE TEABAGS??? That is, I am reading Blaise's Second 
Chance Chapter Seven (because I read the post on-list that said 
she had posted Ch 7) and Snape makes Dumbledore's cup of tea with a 
teabag. Even among Muggles, a number of snobs refuse to use teabags, 
and wizard folk seem to cling more to old ways than us Muggles -- 
maybe every cup of tea is made in a proper teapot with loose tea that 
is mostly kept out of the cup by the seive in the spout of the pot. 
Yeah, yeah, I seem to recall in the Canon that Hagrid makes tea with 
teapots (IIRC after he smashed his teapot in his distress over 
Buckbeak's execution order), but I doubted it then, too.
