Kelly:

What I don't understand is how the book *knows* that a baby is 
magical.  It might assume a baby born to magical parents is also 
magical, but does it *know* a muggle born (like Hermione or the 
Creevys) is magical at birth, or does it wait for evidence when the 
child makes strange things happen?
