Hi Corinth,

I like your theory and wish it were so. Unfortunately, though, when 
Harry was using a quill to write in Tom Riddle's diary, the very 
first time that he set quill to paper a large drop of ink blotted 
the page. Of course, it disappeared and that set off the chain of 
questions and answers between Harry and Tom. Still, we could always 
forget about that couldn't we? I really really like your idea. 
<smile> I desparately want quills to be the writing instrument of 
choice for the wizarding world. To me seeing a wizard or witch using 
anything modern like a ballpoint pen would be like seeing a vampire 
using a medical syringe to remove the blood for feeding instead of 
the notorious bite. <grin>
