Ginger, who has no answer, but wants to pipe up anyway:

This has been asked quite a few times on TOL.  For those of you who 
still hold membership there, you may be interested in the following 
posts:  18800, 30325, 30327, 35330, 37741, 37749, 41799, 41800, 41805, 
41816, 41830, and 41831.

I just got done reviewing this category for the catalogue project, and 
these posts cover the ideas that had been bandied about up to the 
release of OoP.  

As for my personal opinion:  I think it is about the same as the 
difference between lad and boy.  I don't have a clue, but it's there.  
Somehow or other, you just know which one to say at which time.  Or at 
least, JKR does.

Take your pick.  With any luck, some of the authors of those posts (who 
haven't changed their minds) will speak up.

Cheers, Ginger, who is definately a chick.
