I've always thought that Archie's comment in GoF about "a healthy 
breeze" was JKR's nod to Scottish kilts.  With all the joking about 
what Scots wear underneath their kilts, she may have singled Archie 
out for a light-hearted jab at those jokes.

And his comment also makes it seem like many wizards and witches 
*don't* go au naturel underneath their robes.  I've always thought 
that Archie said, "*I* like a healthy breeze 'round *my* privates, 
thanks".  He could be one of the "old school" who wear nothing under 
their robes.

So I guess the debate continues.  I do like the costumes for the 
film, though.
