Kemper now:
Hey Potioncat, I'm unclear as to your meaning.  Are you saying that
it's culturally accepted in the WW to hex people who annoy you? 

If so, then I believe Umbridge would have been hexed more than a few
times by her peers... especially from Snape. We don't see the good
adults hexing because they don't like what someone has said.  It seems
if that was acceptable we would have seen it in OP twixt Snape and Sirius.
