sort of restricted - you'll find out why." (from Quick Quote Quills)

First, the question says 'had', rather than 'have' which suggests 
that the spouses belong in the past, rather than the present. 

 
Juli: Not necesarily. The question is in Present Perfect, so it has to have the "HAD", if it was "have", it'd be incorrect. This tense refers to something that begun in the past and is still going on, so it can be that they HAD spouses or they still HAVE them. I don't believe Argus Fitch (sp?) is Mr Tobias Snape... but Irma Prince could be Mrs Snape. We'll just have to wait 2 years and see!
