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.
