ME - Know that - see above. What I'm wondering about is where are the 
other 16 ghosts, unless JKR is exaggerating again - even then, I 
would have thought she could have made do with 'a dozen or so 
ghosts..'
It's a bit like the Gryffs not having lessons with the Ravings, 
whereas they do with Slythes and Huffies..
