Consider the music they danced to at the Yule Ball. Was any of it music that existd in the Muggle world? Besides, the whole point to Wiards is that they do things differently from Muggles. Funnily enough, there is no mention of any Muggle art or artist in either the books or movies, right? Oh yes, Hermione mentions a Cinderella in Deathly Hallows when Ron is explaining Beedle the Bard.


Potioncat:
But there is mention of Christmas carols, and of Sirius singing "God rest ye, merry hippogriffs." (though I don't remember where the comma was.) And the Fat Friar had some connection to a Muggle Christian organization.(Unless there was a strictly wizarding order.) So there is some mixing of cultures. Having said that, I think "Amazing Grace" would sound out of place.
