Actually, I havent mentioned this because it is a little obsessive, 
even for me, but I HAVE noticed that a disproportionate number of 
important events in the HP books seem to happen on Tuesdays, so maybe 
JKR DOES only know one day, or at least maybe she prefers it.  It is 
only an impression though.  I started to research it, but I didnt get 
very far, but, for example, Voldy kills James and Lily on a Tuesday; 
and Harry receives his first letter from Hogwarts on a Tuesday.  
Anyone crazy enough to dig through the books for more day of the week 
references?
