to wear trousers.  However, is there mention in the books about men 
wearing trousers?  Or about the students wearing standard grey 
school uniforms for that matter?  When Snape was turned upside down 
in the penseive, he - obviously - wasn't wearing trousers under his 
robes - school uniform or otherwise.

I think that the film is to blame here for the trouser thing.  I 
suspect the robes are similar in function to monkish or clerical 
robes and folk in the ww don't wear trousers underneath them.  IMHO.
