However, medical magic could be able to fix total blindness, as there 
are no blind wizards/witches.
  This raises an interesting question; how is this dealt with for 
babies who are 1)magical, 2)have disabilities, and 3)are born to all-
Muggle families? 
 At the outside, would an 11yo with, say, cerebral palsy be expected 
to learn to walk and talk while attending Hogwarts as a first-year?  
Or would they find out sooner?
