Erin:

While it's true that other clothes in the WW are made from dragon 
skin, I believe it unlikely that Bill's earring is a dragon tooth.  
All we know of it from canon is that it is a large fang.  My thinking 
is that a dragon fang would be a bit TOO large to wear comfortably.  
I prefer to believe that the earring is a snke fang, but I don't have 
any canon to back this up either.

Erin:
Ghouls are cool! Who woulda thunk it!  Perhaps we could work that 
into some sort of rap about staying in school?  No?

Well, regardless of the social popularity of Ghouls, I think you may 
be getting Bill a bit confused with Charlie.  Charlie is the one who 
works with dangerous animals like dragons.  Now that the Eygpt-Ghoul 
connection has been disproved by FB canon, there is no canon evidence 
that Bill has any affinity for animals.  Quite the opposite, I would 
say, what with his dragon skin boots and his large fang earring; he 
appears to like them better dead than alive.  It's a good thing for 
Bill that there's no WW version of PETA(People for the Ethical 
Treatment of Animals) running around!  Perhaps Hermione should look 
into that next....

Erin, who just wants to make sure that everyone is getting their Bill 
Facts straight, and yes, he is still ESE!
