I did notice to my horror that Mrs Weasley had Hermione washing Ron's 
underwear!  Talk about slapping the romance out of the girl. Do I 
detect a Victorian sensibility there? Something about a hard working, 
honest woman has no time (or energy) for sex? Although that clearly 
was not a problem for Molly. But then she's safely married.

And what would the Victorian's have to say about Ginny and Hermione 
sharing the smallest bedroom in the house. 

Now if that doesn't make a grown man blush... ;-)
