Kathleen:"This has probably been mentioned before, but in light of the
recent discussion about Lily and the Decree for the Restiction of
Underage Wizardry, I'll say it anyway. When Hermione first meets Ron
and Harry on the train, shesays "I've tried a few simple spells just
for practice and it's all worked for me." How come she didn't get in
trouble?"

She didn't get in trouble for the same reason Harry didn't get in
trouble for what he did to Dudley or George did for turning Ron's
teddy bear into a spider: they're all too young to be responsible.
They've had no training and haven't been served notice of the no-no's
of the wizarding world.  It seems that all wizard children do
it, including the little girl on the toy broomstick at the World Cup or
the little boy expanding the slug.[in GoF].  Once they've been taught
some magic, now, they have to be taught some restrictions.

That's a good explanation Jim - but what about Lily coming home from that 
dammed school and turning tea cups into tadpoles?
