why would a muggle born or muggle raised wizard use a quill and parchment! I sure as hell wouldnt. I mean at first it would seem to be cool but that would wear off real quick after having to repeatedly dip the quill in the inkpot and to mention the scrolls of parchment. pens,pencils and spiral notebooks beat them hands down!

I am not sure that Harry has his own pen and paper - the Dursleys tend to keep all their possessions out of his room, and Harry, just back from Hogwarts probably does not have paper/pens.
I agree about the practicality, though - pencils rule :p
Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for reading and reviewing.
