Did anyone really expect a wholly revolutionized WW, with no prejudice
and no problems? We don't have any such thing in the real world. Why
would we see it in the WW, which is in some ways a reflection of our
world?

Jeremiah:

No. I certainly didn't... it would be nice, though...

Not to get anyone's nickers in a knot... but I think that if we look at the
"Christ Analogy" (I know... and the Horace analogy... and a myriad other
death and resurection analogies from all over the world...) we can see that
regardless of how special or divine or knowledgeable the individual is who
dies they still leave a world that is wrought with conflicts and troubles.

I think that the WW was left to it's "Traditions." Meaning the WW has said
"yuck" to Slytherin House and they kinda like it. But it is all in fun to a
point. The story, IMO, is one that shows us what heppens when the
"poking-fun" gets out of control.

There were cetain things I totally was opposed to but I read them and said,
"Well, if you're gonna go that way, Jo, then let's go!"
