I've checked and checked... And was unable to find this around. So, 
I thought I would bring it up. Maybe it's just a British thing (that 
was my mum's thought). But it isn't quite normal to have this much 
*pork* in a book, in my humble opinion.

HOGwarts
HOGsmeade
HOG's Head
PIGwidgeon
PIG snout (the password)
Hagrid gives Dudley a PIG's tail when he gets upset

(On an unimportant side note, Gertie Keddle invented the knee-
reversing hex to use on a man whom she referred to as a "great hairy 
HOG.")

I suppose this wasn't a blinding flash of deeply penetrating 
insight, but I was intruiged. When given the importance of wizard 
pets thus far in the book, I expect that Ron's Pig will prove to be 
of some signifigance. Any thoughts?

Becky, who is glad she doesn't keep kosher.
