AmanitaMuscaria now - There seems, as has been commented before, a 
very odd morality working (or not) in the wizard world.
The 'werewolf joke' results in a telling-off for MPWW and Snape's 
lasting emnity. From Snape's POV, it could have resulted in him dying 
or becoming a werewolf himself, with the attendant difficulties Lupin 
has around jobs.
Tom's 'unmasking' of Hagrid as 'The Heir of Slytherin' leads to 
Hagrid's expulsion and hire as gamekeeper at Hogwarts - the Ministry 
who believed Tom thought he'd KILLED a girl, for heaven's sake - and 
what about her parents?
OK, wizards obviously are somewhat more durable than muggles - 
dropping a child out of a window means the child bounces down the 
street, but they obviously can get hurt and die.
So, what sort of morality do wizards subscribe to?
