Not a "classy family"?  I think you're treading on dangerous ground 
here. Your implication seems to be that the Weasley's, who must be 
a "common" family, since they're not "classy", don't know any better 
than to state prejudices that they don't even understand.

I find that offensive.

I would definitely assume the Malfoys are a "classy" family, and 
they're just as prejudiced, if not more so, than the Weasleys.
