Please believe me when I say I mean absolutely no offence by this, 
but those arguments apply equally to every other peripheral 
character in the books, including the giant squid.

(And Aberforth wasn't just accused, he was prosecuted too.)

I will still, however, be absolutely delighted to scoff the hat of 
your choice with vinaigrette-au-woolly-bobble if the need should 
arise...
