I think the fair answer to this would be -- no offense to the HP universe
-- that the British gov't proabably views the Magical Community as some
wacky cult or subculture group and does not care whether they use owl
post or fly on broomsticks -- just as the US Gov't doesnt care that the
Amish (no offense, I don't include th em as a cult!) use buggies or
wells. However, if an Amish murderer (I doubt they have them!) goes
berserk, the US gov't must know this. Or if another cult/subculture would
have a gangster running amok, they'd have to inform the governing police
of the area. the british gov't probably views the magical community as a
group of oddballs, idiots, weirdos, and crackpots, and doesn't give them
a moment's thought.
