This actually happened to a kid I knew in high school. When we left school in June, he was enormous. When we got back to school in September, he had lost about 100 pounds. I don't know how he did it, and thinking back on it now it was probably terribly unhealthy, but it does happen. He kept it off until we graduated, too. It was pretty amazing.
That said, I'm a very large woman myself and it does bother me the way JKR has made most of her worst characters fat. However, I say let them *be* fat, if that's what they are. So yeah, agreeing with you in a roundabout way. :-)
