ohh...this is so small and thin I can hardly make myself post it. But 
anyway...

This is a little comment on a discussion held some time ago, when the 
subject was wizarding primary school. I´m not sure if you all ended 
up beliving in them or not. But when I reread HP and the 
Philosopher´s Stone, I noticed this comment from Draco (The Forbidden 
Forest-chapter), when he is informed about their detention-task. 
"...I thought we´d be writing lines or something..."
This is a very often used punishment in school (especially primary, I 
belive), and not at home. As much as I can belive Lucius Malfoy about 
handing out every possible sort of punishment, having Draco discover 
them that way and referring to his childhood when speaking 
about "writing lines" it could be a sign of that he is used to 
schools and knows their game (and punishment), thus going to one 
before Hogwarts.

I´ll just forget the whole thing right... :) Oh well.
