Career advisor:
"I start with the fact that in HBP Hermione says that (I'm 
paraphrasing): 'There are no wizarding princes in Britain'. 
Which implies that there are probably no noble wizards (and 
witches?) in the wizarding world. And no student is mentioned
as being 'noble' at Hogwarts."


Justin Fitch-Fetchly, who chose between Eaton and Hogwarts 
would be at least minor nobility or gentry, wouldn't he?
