> To some extent, the portrayal of fat people is a matter of real 
life.
> Generally, as people get older, they get fatter. Athletes like 
Bagman are especially prone to becoming overweight when they get 
older. Even high school and college athlete, keep reliving their 
glory days, and drinking beer and eating just like they did when they 
were young, unfortunately, they have long since stopped getting even 
remotely close to that level of physical activity.

Wanted to jump on this briefly to point out that Fred, George and 
Charlie Weasley all have the "stocky" body types that could translate 
to paunch as they get older. 

Charlie certainly gets his share of exercise, but Fred and George, 
being the successful business types they are, might become literal 
fat cats.
