zanooda:

Slughorn has books in the house where he is hiding, they are 
mentioned together with soft cushions, boxes of candy, drinks and 
other things that Slughorn loves to surround himself with (HBP, p.67 
US). However, it's not clear if the books belong to Slughorn himself 
or to the Muggles who own the house.

Another one - when we first see Tom Riddle, he is reading a book 
(HBP, p.269). I'm not sure it's a valid example though, because he 
lives in the Muggle world at this point and doesn't know he is a 
wizard yet.
