Maybe, as in lots of British mythology, the streak of magic goes with 
Celtic blood....lots of Celts are dark, are they not? There are 
common references (not in HP!) to "black Irish", Welsh with dark hair 
and blue eyes, and to "Highland black and blue" (hair and eyes 
respectively).

OK, I'm being silly....but I bet the Mabingion is in the HOgwarts 
library!
