THey don't know and they don't care. Which leads me to wonder how 
come HP is as sane as he is. esentially a very neglected child - yet 
his lanugage and social skills are good. the wonder of books I guess. 
I am intreetested in the idea also that the Witch/Wizarding community 
is hiding from the muggles and yet taking children from Muggle 
families and so on gives constant links to the wider community. why 
doesn't one of these families blow the game - go to the papers? what 
stops them from wanting to take advantage of the magic.
