Valky:

Hello and welcome Alerius, OMG are you really tackling all 120 
thousand messages, WOW!  Make sure to bring any interesting ones you 
find to the front page for us... :D

The message your responding to here was probably pre Goblet Of Fire, 
(believe it or not, HPFGU has been going that Long!!) It definitely 
preceeds the Snapes Worst Memory Chapter of Order of the Phoenix.

OTOH I still do wonder about Muggleborns, perhaps they might 
wear "normal" clothes underneath their robes anyway being unused to 
Wizard stuff. And also thinking about evolutions of style and 
fashion, the showing underwear scene is a scene from 1970's 
Hogwarts, (helpful stuff: check out timelines at the hplexicon) 
things may have evolved since then, just a tad.

Anyhow, here's to all new members at HPFGU. Especially the ones 
prepared to bring up interesting, everything old is new again 
subjects like this one!! Thanks Alerius!
