Oh good to know that! Thank you Vandril.

Also, my daughter read on another site today--probably that gamefaqs one--that if you do purchase and register HW, you will get xp for everything you do at level 50, even if it's content from the main game or the patches up to 2.55. I don't know how much xp that amounts to relative to how much you need to level to 51, but that was another reason that I didn't purchase the xpac yet. I didn't want to be ahead in levels going into the new content.
