I agree with this whole-heartedly. It seems to me that all the wizards don't *want* to be like Muggles. 

I point to proof as Arthur Weasley. He's obsessed with Muggle things, to the point that it affects his professionalism and his home life negatively. And he seems to be of the minority. Most in the WW see him as "eccentric" or at least odd for his obsession with Muggle things. 

I believe that for Wizards, Muggles are just another necessary in the world and are treated as things to be avoided and not dealt with unless necessary.

Agreeingly,
Megan
