My first post here.  I've had a hard time picturing the clothes as 
discribed in the book.  It certainly sounds like they wear robes, 
with no street clothes underneath, but it's hard to imagine how 
they'd ride brooms and really get around.

In the movie Snape's outfit does a very good job of covering his 
wrist and neck and I wonder if that is a clue, however, the book 
doen't describe his robes as doing that.
