I'm not so sure that old Archie is an accurate
representation of any kind of wizard "norm". Just
because HE likes a healthy breeze around his privates
privates doesn't necessarily mean that most wizards
do. Although many wizards at the World Cup seemed to
have trouble dressing as muggles he was the only one
with that particular complaint. It could be that he
was the only one brave (or blunt) enough to voice a
wide-spread discomfort, but I think that J.K.R. is
rather fond of the occasional eccentric. (Remember
Dumbledore's brother and the incident with the
goat...)
