Does anyone else think Padma and Seamus seem unusually worried about him? They must have come up with one hell of a fake challenge, if his absence has got them this worried. And what does it have to do with Milland (Snape)?
I guess in the UK the majority of the Sikh men I meet still place great importance on the wearing of the turban, which they always do and Sikh boys are expected to tie the full turban by reaching their teens. So the boys I taught at secondary school would be wearing the full turban. So to me a turban is essential to a Sikh, and worn at weddings and the like by a Hindu. I understand that far less Sikh men wear turbans today in the US so it may be a distinction that is less obvious there. Their right to do so is enshrined in many of our laws, such as an exemption from having to wear a motorcycle helmet. And the military have recently had to back down on a 20 year ban on such headwear.
