In the spirit of progressing the discussion beyond Salem-bashing, how
about the Massacre of Glencoe?  1692, right in JKR's neighborhood.  It
didn't have anything to do with witchcraft as much as further attempts
at "taming" the highlanders of Scotland.  However, since Hogwarts
sounds like it is in northern Scotland, maybe it was a little to close
to school for the WW?
