I don't think I want to know why you were thinking of Professor Rhydderch as a girl. At least it's done and over with.

Maybe. But there's a big difference between what you think is a little pain and what others do. Muggleborns would find it even harder to understand. We don't have magic to take care of our broken bones over night and it can take up to a month, even more, before we can take our casts off.

Laying your life down for someone and getting into fights that can be avoided isn't the same. Besides, it doesn't make any of them less courageous if one knows how to take a hit and the other doesn't.
