I just noticed a line in COS that made me think of this post. On pg.116 of the 
U.S. edition, Ron says, 'if we hadn't married muggles, we'd've died out.' This 
made me think that there must be something genetic (or the wizard 
equivelant) about magic because it sounds like magic people have to 
procreate and pass the magic on.
