So Mundungus Fletcher tried to put in an exaggerated claim for his 
tent?  He almost hexed Arthur Weasley?

Uh oh.  I am starting to wonder if Mundungus Fletcher could be a 
lawyer or barrister.  I don't know if barristers have the same 
tainted reputations that we lawyers in the states do, but if so, then 
perhaps JKR is setting us up for an eccentric, vexing lawyer in OoP.  
Maybe Mundungus' first client will be Percy, who will be accused of 
the disappearance of his boss, Mr. Crouch.
