Geoff:
"I've light-heartedly remarked in the past that we don't hear about 
Harry going for a bath or even to the toilet! And have we heard much 
about Professor Sinistra and Astronomy lessons?

Why?

Because these matters are not part of the thrust of the story. If you 
were to ask me about my time at grammar school, I could tell you 
a lot but probably wouldn't think of some of the items above as being 
Important,"

Exactly.  David Eddings, for example, felt compelled to show us EVERYTING in the
world of the Belgariad/Malloreon.  JKR only shows us what is important to the
story.

transport grow daily more nightmarish.  Only the bicycle remains pure in
