Which brings up another question we could ask Rowling without spoiling
the plot: Do Hogwarts teachers stay at the school during the summer?
And what do they do when the students are gone? (You can spend only so
much time making lesson plans and rereading the textbooks, especially
if you've been teaching the same subject for fourteen years or more.
My apologies if this question has been asked and answered before.
