I had one of those bizarre little observations that spring into your head with the slightest provocation today. I was minding my own business and suddenly this thought appeared with little or no warning.
Why aren't all the characters in the Harry Potter books obese?
They seem to eat a banquet for every meal - there are repeated descriptions of the amazing food laid out in front of them, and other descriptions of how stuffed they always are after meals. They can get any food they could possibly want, at any time of the day or night, simply by getting a house-elf to bring it to them, and they seem to do very little exercise. Quidditch may burn a few calories, admittedly, but they don't play all that often.
The only possible explanation I can think of is that they simply magic themselves thin once they start getting podgy, but isn't that almost the same as bulimia? Evacuating all the food from your body, either through magic or the act of sticking a finger down your throat, is essentially the same thing.
Therefore, the only possible conclusion I can come to is that JK Rowling hates fat people, and encourages them to turn to bulimia in order to shed their fat and become part of her race of stick-thin ubermenschen. That's right, JK Rowling is sexually aroused by the idea of fat kids vomiting.
Some might say this is libelous, but you've just got to look at the facts...
