Oh wow, we must be the same age then. But if you're
already teaching, you must have finished college long
before I did (last month!).

Yup, there are lots of fun parallels between Star Wars
and HP. I once drove myself crazy by using Episode 1
as the basis of an argument against JKR doing a
prequel series once she finishes all seven books. My
main point was that prequels for for Star Wars because
we know nothing about Luke and Leia's parents. Then I
tried to recount just how we know so far about Lily
and my argument crumbled before my eyes...

Changing subjects... Hermione being a housewife is
about as likely as George W. Bush thinking for himself
instead of relying on his daddy's friends <ignores
partisan rumblings>. But what I'm curious about is the
time frame of wizarding life. Specifically, if they
have such long lifespans, why do they meet their
spouses as teenagers in Hogwarts? We know James and
Lily met in school, as did Arthur and Molly Weasley.
How come no one meets their significant other later in
life? After all, they have lots of time to play the
field.

Just a thought,

Thena
