After reading all of the "Blonde Hair" posts, I remembered that when I first 
joined the list, there were many posts about JKR and the posibility of WW2 
analogies.  I put 2 and 2 together... Nazis thought that blonde haired 
people were the Aryan race, and that these people were superior to the rest. 
  I am sure you have all heard this story before.  Except Hitler failed to 
acknowledge that the Aryans were a group of fairly light-skinned people who 
migrated from the fertile plain to India.  I assume she gives her own blonde 
characters the same character: they look like they should be wonderful, 
superior people considering they are from good breeding, etc, but they 
aren't.  I think JKR was mocking misconception, but I am probably reading 
too into it.
