Unbelievably polite.  Mind you if JKR had wanted to go for gritty 
realism, the book would have been so full of **** and $@*#'s! that 
it would have been pretty nigh incomprehensible and it certainly 
wouldn't be sold to children.

I don't count that against the books - if I want gritty realism and 
lots of profanities I'll go out and read the likes of Irvine Welsh. 
I certainly wouldn't want my daughter reading something like that 
either.
