Not only that, but he was raised in a Muggle orphanage which is probably in
London (only evidence is the place where he bought his diary, admittedly,
but it's not a bit of London you'd be likely just to go as a tourist) during
the years when Oswald Mosley and his blackshirts were pretty active in
anti-semitic and pro-fascist activities.  Nothing more likely than that he
spent his holidays on the fringes of that sort of thing, learnign about
techniques of intimidation from the Muggle perspective.
