Isn't Professor Sprout 'short and dumpy' or something like that? Not quite the same as hugely fat, but still definitely not skinny. Also, though I can't remember if Madam Pomfrey gets described, I've also somehow imagined her as slightly plump - is that mentioned at all?

  *grin* Of course they have different metabolisms! Doing magic takes up extra 
  energy! After all, the energy to make something fly across the room, or 
  change the molecular structure of an object must come from somewhere. In 
  other fantasy worlds, there is the idea that there is no such thing as a fat 
  wizard. I think it's the same in JKR's world, even if the idea is a little 
  hidden.
