Potioncat:
Pretty much the same way the RW did at that time. We do know JKR chose not to deal with that particular issue in this series. Can you imagine, pregnat witches?--oh my! The Religious Right would have had a field day.

I don't agree with Bart that sex isn't happening. I'm sure the Malfoys have had sex more than once, and I'm very sure Mollycoddles and Arthur have had sex more than 7 times. In fact, they may have come very close to a teen pregnancy themselves. I'd say the population was controlled by JKR herself--and at that she created a lot more characters than she needed.

As for Goddlefrood's post--it actually took me a moment to get it. Good one.
