It has been said by Professor Binns that the Founders built Hogwarts away 
from muggles to avoid muggles who wanted to peresecute witches. One can 
safely assume that from this statement and various others that *one* of 
(many, I'm sure) reasons for hiding from muggles is the witch hunt hysterias 
of the past.
