Hey there

I've been wondering about boarding schools in general and Hogwarts in
particular and I'm curious as to the policy of boarding schools
concerning visitors, both parents and other adult visitors.  We never
really see Harry or anyone around him having visitors, though that
doesn't necessarily mean that students in general can't have visitors
and don't have visitors.  But would the typical boarding school be
friendly towards visitors?

Even more, would a boarding school like Hogwarts, something that seems
to be steeped in values from a different time, a part of a society
that seems to be of a time in the past, have policies allowing
visitors casually?  Parents and possibly non-parents both?  Or would
it be for emergencies only?

Quite curious and hoping this message makes sense to the good people
on this list.
