> If teaching is almost like the priesthood -- and it does almost seem so, the way JKR doesn't introduce spouses/significant others -- at least thankfully it doesn't appear fraught with some of the scary issues of the RW priesthood.  But we don't really want to go there....

  Bart:
      But, since you did, please note that virtually all the accusations 
came from the sexually freer time of the 60's and 70's. And even then, 
it on the order of one out of a thousand priests, which means that zero 
incidents in Hogwarts is comparable (and, frankly, I'm not so sure about 
Slugworth).

Sssusan:

> In terms of "the curious" about HP characters, not only is it curious how many single adults there are, there are a bunch of other niggly little things I find curious, such as ICKY TEETH!  I understand that dentists may seem a little bizarre in the WW, but if they see no need for dentists, and since this is a world in which there are all manner of "clean up" and "fix up" spells, such as evanesco and scourgify nd episkey, WHY is there any witch or wizard with rotten or yellowed teeth?

Bart:

     It's a Brit thing.
