That presumably accounts for the younger generation's familiarity 
and comfort with muggle clothing, while the older folks (like Arthur 
Weasley) are no-hopers. There's no better conformity teacher than a 
school yard. 

I wonder if there's any link between familiarity with/use of muggle 
clothing (and presumably early education and presumably social 
contact), and social status. Or anything else. Thoughts?
