The Other Marianne:
The age of 17 is considered being a man, I'm assuming a woman also, in WW.  All of a sudden they are thrown out in the world, they are treated as equals, well sort of in the case of the Weasleys and the twins.  They are expected to know what profession they want to go into.  In the case/book of the DH, they fight side by side with other adults that are older and more experienced then they are in the battle of HW and nobody thinks anything about it.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a real abrupt way to enter the adult world?


I'm going to answer one of my own questions.

In the real world kids are 18 when they are considered adults.  Many of them are thrown out to the world, expected to know what profession to  be in at that age.  Many of them are fighting side by side with adults that are older and more experienced.

It's an abrupt way to enter the adult world, but lots of time that's how things are.
