And it's even stranger in the light of JKR's assertion that "Hogwarts
is a multifaith school"
[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1572107/20071017/index.jhtml].

*What*?  There is more, much more to being a multi-faith school than
having one student with an apparently Jewish name and two whose
ancestors seem to hail from the Sub-Continent.  I know imagination is
to be prized in a writer of fiction, but really, now she's just making
stuff up.  No Passover, no Eid (scope for a feast there, I'd have
imagined), no Diwali.
