Harry seems to know a warlock when the sees one, he speaks of seeing 
them in the Leaky Cauldron and Three Broomstick. In a room full of 
wizard, he specifically mentions a select group of warlocks. So they 
are identifiable.

The best I could come up with was that 'wizard' is a Western European
term for magical males, and 'warlock' is an Eastern European term for
the same thing. Harry identifies warlock based on regional dialets and
general appearance. I picture, Eastern Europeans being similar to
Krum; dark hair, dark eyes, pale or olive skin, thick accets, etc <<

HunterGreen:
In this same vein, what on earth is a hag? There also obviously 
identifiable from witches, but what is the difference? I've always 
wondered that. I know its slang meaning, but it clearly has a 
different context here.
