Sorry, GIANT CUSHION should have had "Securing Harry's Interest" (not Security, grarghh).

Well, the Potterverse does seem old-fashioned in various ways (perhaps due to lack of contact with Muggledom since the Wizarding Secrecy Act), so it may have what appeared to be the model in Enid Blyton school stories, where the almost all-female staff all appeared to be single and then left when they got married (presumably because women don't work any more once they have a breadwinner to provide for them.  1950s ish?)

Ooo!  The twins are Ever So Evil?  Where are the hedgehog hunters?

Tabouli.
