>>> 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 an old stereotype, but one that I have heard the British tell 
on themselves. There are various reasons, most recently because of the 
difficulty in getting NHS dental care; rather than put up a bunch of 
links, just type british bad teeth into any search engine and you will 
get dozens of sites discussing it. Even the Beatles made fun of it in 
the George Harrison song, "Savoy Truffle".
