It may, indeed, be a little bit difficult--but not impossible--for my 
generation (Baby Boomer).  But the twenty-somethings that I work with are, in 
fact, very much like the inhabitants of JKR's world.  I know of so many 
interracial, interreligious combinations that are both unlikely, happy, and 
lovely.  Maybe JKR is foreshadowing the next generation, which I see in my 
daily life (admittedly, I live in a very fashion forward, downtown Manhattan 
neighborhood).  
  I must add at this point that there are now two Barbaras on the list.  The 
more recent Barbara is cogent and very literate.  Therefore, I will retire as 
Barbara and, henceforward, sign myself as 
Barb (my preference anyway)
Cheers to all in the northeast in the US who are now finally, finally 
enjoying SNOW!
