C'mon now, the full name of a writing quill is "quill pen" because it's the shaft (quill part) of a feather, Latin penna. Dumbledingus really ought to be able to connect the dots here.

According to that logic, there is nothing paranormal with a "magic wand" because "wand" goes back to proto-Germanic *wend- "to turn", just like "wind" does. Nothing special about it. People should be able to connect the dots here.
