Well said. It's never mentioned that Harry (or anyone) actually used 
a toilet for it's intended purpose (VERY rare occasion in fantasy 
books, BTW, having a character do that) but yet it's obvious they do.

We do get to see them eat every now and then, visit few classes, but 
we do not get to watch every single moment they do. It'd get *boring* 
that way. Of course some events are cut off!
