A Little Something about The Wedding

I have read DH twice, and now I am randomly reading different
passages and still finding excerpts that I haven't noticed before.

Anyone else "found" new passages after reading a couple of times?

Anyway I just found this odd excerpt in DH American edition page 173
chapter 8, The Wedding: "A host of white-robed waiters had arrived an
hour earlier, along with a gold-jacketed band, and all of these
wizards were currently sitting a short distance away under a tree;
Harry could see a blue haze of pipe smoke issuing form the spot."

So umm what were they smoking in that pipe. Am I reading too much
into this book now? Or is this just slightly inappropriate for a
Young Adult book? I know, I know these is a debate about all of
Potterverse not being Children's lit or Young Adult lit but outside
of that, was this reference misplaced?

For the record this is one of the millions of reasons I love JKR. To
me JKR's work is full of layers and I am just beginning to uncover
them. If the reference is to a magical pot like substance then I
think most kids will not get it, those who do will probably laugh and
are of an appropriate age. I am not that worried but just wandered
what you all thought. Also are there other excerpts with a shady
reference that I have missed?
