Yes, at least one home user has a DNS server set up.

More importantly, you should now be asking yourself what you have to

Yes, though it seems the horse has left the barn.  You could have your 
DNS hosted on other servers, and update your zone files via web 
browser.  A variety of places offer this service.

No, they usually find out from people who post messages in public 
forums stating that they host servers.
