Geoff:
It is indeed.

"'...Father actually considered sending me to Durmstrang rather than 
Hogwarts, you know. He knows the Headmaster, you see. Well, you know 
his opinion of Dumbledore - the man's such a Mudblood-lover - and 
Durmstrang doesn't admit that sort of riff-raff. But Mother didn't 
like the idea of me going to school so far away.'
