Yeah, I would've liked to see Alicia ask Katie to the Yule Ball.  Come on, 
is EVERYONE at Hogwarts hetero?  How 'bout that hunk Bill--what ear does he 
wear his earring in?

Well, it's a thought for book 5.  Although if JKR has any sense she pays NO 
attention to the wishes of her fans, even when they are as high-minded as 
ours <g>.

Re: PWD's, I don't get at all why they can't be wizards and go to Hogwarts.  
Just because we don't see any PWD's in the books so far, except Mad-eye (and 
Lupin I suppose . . . he has a magical equivalents of a physical 
disability), it doesn't mean there's an impossibility there.  JKR makes it 
clear that magical ability is like a talent for drawing or perfect pitch; it 
is just a talent that some, not many, humans have in abundance.  Why would 
it only occur among the TAB's (temporarily able-bodied)?
