I have two questions which have probably been discussed before.  Why 
didn't Mrs. Figg go to St. Mungo's when she broke her leg?  If she is 
in touch with Wizards (Dumbledore even) couldn't someone have helped 
her so she did not have to live in a cast for several weeks?

My second question is in regard to wands.  Is it possible that it is 
fairly common for students to replace their wands when they start 
their NEWT training?  I know there was no mention of Percy or the 
twins replacing theirs but we know that Ron had Charlie's (or maybe 
Bill's) old wand when he started at Hogwarts.  Perhaps this only 
happens if they are learning something that their first wand is not 
as good as another type of wand would be?  Do you suppose then that 
someone like Dumbledore would have an entire wardrobe, depending on 
what he wanted to do? 

Thinking aloud and wondering if anyone has an opinion,
Sue
