Heh.  Yeah, I suppose my opposition to the scene has more to do with my
Americanized PC-mentality than it actually being all that harsh.  Crazy,
because I usually love JKR and how she tells American parents to,
basically, shut their whining about what kids can and can't handle, and
that kids can handle a lot more than we give them credit for.

      "Give her hell from us, Peeves."
 And Peeves, whom Harry had never seen take an order from a student before,
  swept his belled hat from his head and sprang to a salute as Fred and George
     wheeled out to tumultuous applause and sped out the open front doors into
                                                          the glorious sunset.
