Tagging does give you the accomplished feeling of having organized something, at least.
Uncle Vernon does make a very funny Sirius--and the play uses lots of little filmed clips where you see him on his bike or walking through the halls. Hector is just a great character and totally believable as one of those teachers who's been teaching for years. Only you don't just see him as a teacher of students. It's not that the play focuses on his private life so much (we know he's married and, obviously, likes to fondle boys in his free time) but his attitude towards teaching. And yes, it does seem like a lot of the teachers' attitudes are very much shaped by whether or not they wanted to go to Oxbridge and then whether they got in.
