Also, I think it's clear that St Brutus' School is as fictional as St Mungo's hospital. And that Little Whinging is as fictional as Ottery St Catchpole. Even the non-magical parts are hardly an attempt at brutal realism.
I think that's a good point, and am now wishing I had a category for 'A world similar to our own but exaggerated for comedic or dramatic effect.'
Though I have known a few St Brutus's; although they had far more PC names than that -- talking to the teachers, that was definitely how they were run!
