Geoff:
I would agree with you completely. As Steve pointed out, Harry was 
supposed to go Stonewall High.

St.Brutus' is a cover story for Marge - and possibly for anyone who 
troubled to ask Vernon. Considering the sort of area the Dursleys 
live in, I think that would be unlikely; Vernon would probably be 
steering conversation with the neighbours in the direciton of the 
weather and the lack of rain for the gardens or the state of the 
Footsie (FTSE = equivalent of the Dow Jones) or whether John Major 
was making a better job of things than Maggie Thatcher (bearing in 
mind this was in thee arly 1990s).
