Yep.  I actually wrote a letter to the editor of the site, in which I 
did probably not the best job of refuting Henning, but still.  :-P  
Although, I forgot to point out that the wizards *don't* inherit 
their powers from their parents ~ look at so-called 'mudbloods'!  So 
the whole 'elite' thing Henning described is wrong-o from point one.
