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.)
