Cauldrons

My husband and I are rereading the books right now and thought of 
something that in my years on this list I do not think I have ever 
seen discussed.  (If I am wrong I appologize, but I do try to keep up 
with the vast volume of messages on this list).  

Cauldrons in general seem to keep comming up.  I know that in the 
wizarding world they are common household items, but they do seem to 
come up a little bit more than average "pots and pans".

There are the obvious potion mixing cauldrons (in potions class, and 
in the rebirthing scene,) but how about the others?  Mundugus was off 
buying cauldrons.  The entrance to Diagon Alley is The Leaky 
Cauldron.  Percy is studying Leaky Cauldrons.

My husband has wondered if there is some connection between the pub 
TLC and Percey's report.  Is Fudge perhaps working on finding a way 
to close the gaps between the wizarding and muggle worlds (thus 
efectively stopping the "problem" of TLC)?  This would certianly add 
weight to the ESE! Fudge theory.

Anyhow, it was just a thought.
