Me:

That is a very interesting point!  This made me think of 
something else as well.  Obviously, the WW doesn't want 
muggles to know about them.  What kind of precautions are 
taken, if any, for muggle parents who have kids who go to 
Hogwarts?  Are they told to lie to friends about where their child 
goes to school?
