Betsy:
D'oh!  And I even mis-spelled Eton. *facepalm*  Well - I wasn't 
pretending to be an expert on all things British.  (Or if I was I've 
been well and truly exposed, thanks to that darn Karen <g> (and I 
should *so* get points for that Scooby reference).)

So, Eton is a Christian school, Hogwarts is not.  But I still say 
the WW of Britian has a Christian influence on its culture just as 
the Muggle world of Britian does.
