Jo Ellen...you make many excellent points about Hogwarts (real or imaginary).  I've
often fantasized (since childhood) about our planet having 'societies' if you will,
that exist on different planes simultaneously with 'us'.  I wonder if our vision and
our brains are only capable of seeing (hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling) what our
genetics and physical makeup, at this point in evolution, allow us to see (hear,
feel, taste, smell).  For instance, humans can only see certain portion of the light
spectrum.  Suppose our eyes (ears, skin, tongue, nose) and brain were to evolove to
include a greater portion of the light spectrum, or increased perception of all of
our senses.  I'm sure humans have dormant senses that 'could' resurface or sensory
perception that we've not even begun to imagine.  Would we be able to see heat rising
off of human bodies, see microwaves, see the energy of a dying person leaving the
body, walk and talk with our deceased ancestors or even see, hear, touch and
communicate with witches, wizards, goblins and all manner of other creatures roaming
the earth among us?  My earliest recollection of these fantiasies was around age 8
when I was sure that someone said my name and nobody else was in the room.  Nothing
more...just my name.  I was raised with religion but I was sure it wasn't "God"
speaking to me, nor did I think I was mad.  I just imagined that someone was there
trying to get my attention.  It's only a fantasy made up by an 8 year old but every
time I get that "ghost walked over my grave" shiver, I stop to re-think my childhood
fantasy.  Perhaps that is why the Potter books and their side by side
Muggle/Wizarding communites are so attractive to me.  The Wizards are not on another
planet they are right there living among the Muggles.
