ME...
Well as to the magic being a running gag, I have seen a few 
explinations of why Wizard folk don't fit very well in the Muggle 
world.
   First- Magic causes disterbances in the "electromagnetic field" 
and therefore the operation of things like Computers, Cell Phones, 
and other devices are disrupted.
   Second- Wizards them selves are able to channel energies that 
arn't very diffrent from the aforementioned EM Field, so they again 
disrupt electrical equipment.
   Third (and last)- When we do anything in our world we know 
logically what is going to happen (cause and effect - action and 
reaction) but with wizards they follow a diffrent logical model. 
Intent is the most important action.

  These explinations have been put forward, and if u thank in these 
terms it isn't difficult to see that even living in close proximity 
to muggles, wizarding folk would still see things in a totally 
diffrent way from there Muggle neighbors.
