  Too right. Sometimes HP world reminds me of "Animal Farm." There are 
some animals who are more equal than others.

    Catherine again:
   
  Hi Jen,
  I think that the WW just has a very different set of morals and principles than in the RW. Some kids are treated unfairly by some teachers, but on the whole it balances out. Nobody really gets in trouble for jinxing a fellow student ever (until Harry and the Sectum Sempra). 
   
  Even the adults jinx each other (look at St-Mungos). Nobody seems to call the MoM for such disputes, they go to get it fixed/reversed. I think it's part of the culture being a witch/wizard. 
   
  I'm just remembering now all the cards that Harry had to rewrite in HBP about Sirius and James' detentions for jinxing/hexing. But considering the previous 5 books, that nobody gets in trouble for it presently; it seems times may have changed. 
   
  All the detentions Harry gets seem more to be for sass, or for being out of bed after hours. Those "crimes" are much more severely punished than the jinxing. Seems strange to me, but they have very different values.
