And I also find it extremely unrealistic when christians bring their real life into the internet life and use God and Satan in roleplaying. First of, people say here "oh, merlin", instead of "oh, my god".
These things above are more ridiculous than a kid walking around telling that he's greatgrandson of Voldemort, because at least that kid doesn't come up with unrealistic stuff. [I mean, we haven's seen what Voldemort was doing when he was young 
]. Well, the reason why there are no iPods/MP3 Players and such mentioned in the books is because they didn't exist back then (or at least weren't that common)...the books play BEFORE 2000 so there wouldn't be any of those devices even in the Muggle World.
If they are supposed to work at Hogwarts or not has been quite recently discussed
here.
Concerning the songs, well, we don't know which songs will be popular in the 2070s so...maybe Lady GaGa IS still popular then. Maybe.
THIS isn't allowed on this site. There should be no mentions of religion on here. Saying 'Oh my God' isn't really that religious, people nowadays just say it like that. And I think there's even mention in the 7th HP book...somewhere at the end somebody says 'Oh my God' (I'm pretty sure I looked that up at some point, if not well erm ignore this last sentence).
