Geoff:
I think, for the benefit of our US friends, we ought to point out 
that only a few UK public schools have robes as such.

One certainly is Christ's Hospital which is a school which my parents 
and teachers wanted me to go to when I was 9 and I was having nothing 
to do with these robes. Surprisingly for my age, I got my way. I 
think my mother had similar views to Narcissa Malfoy and didn't want 
me away from home.

Most schools have fairly ordinary uniforms.
