Hmm. I had never thought of it like that. Perhaps all humans were once
wizards, but a comet burst or Syltho's grampa showed up, and the majority of
them degenerated into squibs.

In that case, muggles are like docked cats or cats with a debilitating birth
defect--essentailly normal, but missing an appendage. But what if they're
like manx cats--different, yes, yet possessed of positive characteristics
that magical humans lack. I mean, does Dumbledore dream of the day when all
humans will be magical?

Baaaaaa!
