me:

I wonder how this works for any Muggle-born kid.  Maybe the Department of
Mysteries or the Obliviators go in and fake some paperwork, or work some memory
charms, or something.  For some reason I don't see them wiping out the student's
complete existence from the Muggle world; more like faking documentation or
something.  I don't think Muggle born students would want to completely drop out
of the Muggle world; after all that would mean abandoning their families, and
that borders on cultishness IMO.  So I wonder what they do?
