Yes, we "owe" King James a lot, along with others like Saint Augustine.
I've often wondered how much of the witch persecutions over the centuries
has been veiled misogyny. As far as I can tell, they went after Johannas
Kepler's
mum basically because she was outspoken and strong-minded. (For that reason I
think Hermione would have been in trouble, though Fleur could probably have
charmed
her way into a cushy job at court.)
