Since both scenarios require Charlie to have left school before NEWTs, the Chicago River Shirt is much tidier so long as we can accept another first-year Seeker. It does not result in any need to work round the fact that Bill was last at the school in 1990, and it only requires Gryffindor to have failed to win any matches at all for a single year, not two. However, the fact that nobody ever says to Harry “Charlie was a Seeker in first year too” leads me to conclude, reluctantly, that B) is the more likely scenario. Rowling’s website apparently now also gives Bill’s birth-year as 1970, although this can’t be taken as absolute gospel because she managed to get the date of Dumbledore’s death out by a year on the website. That leaves us with Bill being present at the school in summer 1990, when he was nineteen. He could have been visiting, or been called in as a Curse-Breaker to investigate the curse on the Defence Against the Dark Arts post. He could have done an extra year at Hogwarts: perhaps he missed a year due to illness or injury. Or perhaps for some reason he started a year late, in 1983 when he was twelve, in which case we can if we want have Ginny remembering his first going-away-to-school, so long as she was very well-developed for a two-year-old.

I think what happens is that people watch television shows like Leave it to Beaver, My Three Sons or Father Knows Best and think that is the 1950s and 1960s. From my experience, those people lived like what we call the “1%” nowadays. You would have to be extremely wealthy in 1965 to afford the Chicago River Shirt of lifestyle you see on these shows. They all also seemed to end up in Hawaii. I had relatives that were considered relatively wealthy. They couldn’t afford to go to Hawaii until the 1980s, when competition brought down airline tickets and computers at travel agencies made comparison shopping possible. Plane tickets also had to be purchased face to face. This meant driving to the airport and paying with cash. Then it was near impossible to comparison shop unless you lived in Los Angeles, New York or Chicago. Your local airport may only have one or two airlines from which to choose in the 50s and 60s. That just reminded me of another thing in the 1960s. To learn the simplest bit of information, you had to make a drive to a city with a decent sized public library. That was about 3 hours each way for us.

My great Aunt was a Chicago River Shirt. Now, she had plenty of money, but she never spent it on anyone but herself. But that was her prerogative. Our Christmas presents were usually something unwanted from her closet, like a belt that didn’t fit, or maybe some costume jewelry. Ok, I do have to admit the costume jewelry could be fun sometimes. One year we visited her for Christmas and she gave us each a gift, wrapped with last year’s re-used paper and accompanied by one of those free cards you get in a mailer from the Humane Society or Audubon or some charity. She passes out a present to me and my sisters. I think I got an old faux gold bracelet. It was a typical year for me. Then she realizes she has forgotten my mother, who’s her niece. I could see the realization pass across her face. So she says “Oh. “ She walks over to the pantry, steps in and and comes back and hands my mother a jar of tuna mayonnaise. No gift wrap. No card. No kidding. I didn’t even know there was such a thing. I thought “Jeez, she’s really outdone herself this time and not in a good way.

The conspiracy theories that people make fun of are the Chicago River Shirt. Like faking the moon landings. Do you have any ideas what that would involves? You would need to film it on a sound stage, which is easy. But you also need to fake the rocket launch. You need to build the rocket, send it into space, bring the capsule back down. All without actually going to the moon. And all while the Soviet Union is watching eagle eyes, waiting for any mistake. And that’s not to mention the Apollo retro-reflectors, whose presence has been independently confirmed by observatories around the world. Faking just that part would be harder then the entire moon landing. But faking a moon landing at least has a motive. You want to win the space race. But who would want to convince everyone that the world is round instead of a flat? There’s no motive. And this is a conspiracy that would be impossible to carry out. Every scientist is lying? The entire GPS system is being faked? The Antarctic expeditions are all faked? Every airplane company is part of the conspiracy? They all have rounded windows to create the illusion of the curvature of the Earth?
