SSSusan now:
Whoops--NOT my quote above!  I was the one who said, before this 
poster, that I thought Harry would do just fine living as a magic-
power-less member of the WW.

SSSusan now:
Nope--again not mine!  I hadn't even thought about Portkeys (though I 
do have an opinion--that they *would* work).

SSSusan:
Now that I've cleared up the snippage, I can say that I think the 
point you raise is important.  I mean, how DOES Seamus' dad get 
around when the family wants to go somewhere?  There must be a means 
of transport for partially-magic families.

This thought reinforces my belief that Harry would be fine living as 
a magic-power-less person in the WW.  Of course, in another thread, 
I'm arguing about why/how he might die, so maybe I'd better make up 
my mind, eh?

a Reds fan? White Sox fan?)
