Magical Genes: Unification Theory

Oh yes! A clarification of my previous post.

I suggest that the magical/electical phenotype is not limited to 
humans, ergo magical creatures. This would also help explain why the 
flobberworm is classified as a magical creature. "Fantastic Beasts" 
reports that flobberworms are used in magical potions, but lists no 
other magical properties. Plenty of nonmagical creatures are used in 
potions (see lexicon animals list), so the flobberworm's (annelidia 
magica?) innate magic can probably be detected with a simple spell.

Sorry for the omission. Hope this all makes sense!

OT PS: Mundungus derives from the Spanish word for smelly tobacco of 
dubious quality. I can't WAIT to meet Mundungus in later books, and 
will be personally affronted if he's killed off before we get to know 
him.
