Speaking as a Mormon, none taken.  ;-)  Although, for the sake of 
clarity, you should know that the OFFICIAL church organization (the 
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) has neither recognized nor 
condoned plural marriages for many generations now, though several 
offshoot groups who still use the same (or very similar) name do still 
maintain the practice.  In fact, I have a distant cousin who used to 
live nearby, related some generations back through a plural marriage 
(surprise, surprise), whose father was part of such an offshoot group 
and had three or four families at once.

To bring this back towards a more on-topic topic . . . umm . . . *blink 
blink* . . . how DOES one bring plural marriage back on-topic to Harry 
Potter?!  Oh dear!  I am sorry, listelves, but I just HAD to clarify 
this common misconception.  I'm ready to go slam my hands in the oven 
door now.
