Yes, those are definitely professions that would give you a lot of thestral-spotting mojo. And just some random folks from all walks of life. (I can see them, and the first time, it was completely random: On a college internship I was just standing outside the office having a smoke break when there was a car/motorcycle accident right on that corner. Very gruesome--let's just say there was absolutely no room for denial that I had seen someone die.)

I wonder how the thestrals would feel about the colored ribbons. Legbands too.

He did lose money - and took it out on lots of people, though not as spectacularly.

Oooh, that'll look cool colored.
