OR....Thick can mean slow, so the people in the ward as mentally slow 
or disabled because of spell damage and they are kept that way by 
underhanded means....

Also on a side note.... does anyone think that row 97 where the 
prophecy resided concurs with the year 1997? And the prophecy will 
come about during that year?  I did not come up with this but agee 
with it and think that the deception surrounding the Longbottoms stay 
in St. Muungo's will be resoved in book 6.  Any takers on this?

who is just dying, DYING to know when book 6 is coming out...
