This is a silly little observation and hardly worth mentioning, but if
Madam Pomfrey can mend broken noses "in a thrice," surely the healers
or mediwizards at St. Mungo's can do it, too, yet several characters,
including Dumbledore and Ludo Bagman show signs of broken noses that
weren't magically mended. I wonder why.
