Carol:
Well, we do have Wood standing in the shower trying to drown himself
after winning a Quidditch match! But still, you'd think Ron would have
said something about the Prefect's bathroom by now. Or Hermione, if
it's co-ed. Or maybe she thinks that the female prefects have a nice
bathroom but the male one have to use the regular boys' showers? At
least she seems to have washed her hair before the Yule Ball--and
afterwards, to get sleeking potion (whatever it was called) out of her
hair. I'll bet she brushes her teeth, too, being a girl, a
Muggle-born, and the daughter of two dentists. But the boys? Maybe we
don't want to know!

Carol, who wonders why Sirius didn't have at least a foot-long beard
after twelve years in Azkaban
