A further question that I have concerns magic  coming to and going 
home from Hogwarts.  In one of the books (sorry but don't have them 
with me) the students practice disarming each other on the way home, 
but Fred (or was it George) has commented that they pass out notices 
telling students not to perform magic outside of school before they 
get on the train home.
