Potioncat:
Isn't wizarding housekeeping interesting?  Here's Trelawny with a 
broom and dust pan for a broken cup, yet Snape can repair a broken 
jar with a spell.  Things can be swept away with "evanesco" yet 
Filch is around to mop floors and scrub frog brains off ceilings. 
And the castle employs hundreds of house-elves who also cook and 
clean.
Potioncat who needs to be out buying groceries for house-elves to 
cook...wait I don't have any house-elves!
