The book simply says Sirius 'got a place' of his own. Given real
estate prices in London, I have to assume it as a flat/apartment, not
a house or if it was a house, it was probably rented, and a small cozy
cottage more likely than a mansion.

Me:
True. Ghastly, ghastly, real estate costs. But is it necessarily in London? Furthermore, could it be wizarding real estate, similar to Diagon Alley, where wizards tend to live. It could be like the burrow, quite private and reserved. Then again, this is all "could" and has absolutely 0 canon to support it, but still.

I would love to see Harry inherit the Motorcycle. I've been waiting
for it to reappear ever since it was first mentioned. I can just see
all the Weasley brother out at the Burrow begging Harry to let them
have a go on it.

On a related subject, do you suppose anyone in the wizard world
actually has a drives license? Maybe if they are pulled over by the
police, they can 'charm' their way out of a ticket. Although, I have
to admit, it's never worked for me.

Me:
God yes. I've wanted to see it again for a long time... but I don't think wizards do have drivers licenses. How many wizards drive? Conventionally? That part's important--every car we've seen has been specially charmed for size or flight or God knows what. I believe that goes for the Ministry cars... Perhaps privately owned cars have charms like the Knight Bus, that allow the car to travel vast distances without hitting anything (buildings and other obstacles "leap" out of the way). Then again, the Ministry is so unconventional, maybe they just hand licenses out to whoever wants them. That'd explain a few things...
