I wasn't aware that L.O.O.N.iness required explanation. But however, you're absolutely right. Unless it's about age of consent, then of course it would be important. But as for school... I don't know. It's not as if they were starting elementary school where the question whether a child is 5 or 6 *is* very important. Going to hogwarts at 10 or 11 doesn't seem to make such a big difference.

Anyway, nitpicking *is* nice...

"And how come those portraits seem to be alive?"

"What'ya mean? All paintings move."

"No, they don't. We have lots of paintings in our villa, among them a real Chagall, and none of them..."

"And d'ya expect that something painted by a jackal will move? Now really..."
