Hello Everyone!

I hope this hasn't been discussed before, but it's bothering me, and 
people here write the best explanations of things, so here goes...

I looked up both 'wizard' and 'warlock' and found nearly identical 
definitions.  When I looked up 'hag', 'witch' was part of the 
definition.  So what's the difference?  Why aren't there more warlocks 
in Harry's world?  If they're bad, wouldn't Voldie be one?  If they're 
not bad, wouldn't they also go to Hogwarts?  And is a hag simply an 
ugly witch?  They seem to try to keep themselves hidden in HP, but I 
don't know why.

I hope someone can help me out here!
