And why so many of them wear glasses? How many times in my childhood 
did I wish (after being called "four-eyes" a thousand times, 
naturally) that my poor eyesight would just cure itself by magic. Now 
I read a book about magic and wizards and guess what? They can't cure 
it at all :-)!

OTOH, many wizards (including Bill, Charlie and Percy) Apparated to 
the site of QWC, and I doubt that they ever visited the place before. 
What about DD Apparating to this Budleigh Babberton(?) where Slughorn 
was hiding? Could DD know more than the name of the village? Slughorn 
seemed to choose places to stay at random, just by looking for vacant 
Muggle houses anywhere.
