Lyra: 
Ohh, thanks for link. I've found another new FAQ that brings up a 
question:

What education do the children of wizards have before going to Hogwarts?
They are, as many of you have guessed, most often home educated. With 
very young children, as you glimpsed at the wizards' camp before the 
Quidditch World Cup in 'Goblet of Fire', there is the constant danger 
that they will use magic, whether inadvertently or deliberately; they 
cannot be trusted to keep their true abilities hidden. Even Muggle-
borns like Harry attract a certain amount of unwelcome attention at 
Muggle schools by re-growing their hair overnight and so on.

"Muggleborns like Harry"?  Does she mean muggle-raised (or reared, if 
you prefer)? Or is she changing the meaning of the word or dropping us 
a clue?

(Dear Jo, if you need someone to copyedit for you, I'm highly qualified 
and available. Just let me know where to send the resume.)
