Isn't Hogwarts the US equiv. of middle/high school?  In the US, you 
don't see 60-year-olds roaming the halls of the local high unless 
they're teachers.  Once you're over 16 and drop out of school, it is 
my understanding that "night school" and GEDs are your best chance of 
getting a high school diploma.  Maybe Hagrid is going to "knight 
school" (like the "knight bus", not to *be* a knight).  

Candlewick - who is sorry she misspelled "canon" more than once in 
her last post.  How embarassing.  Spelling is not her strong point.
