Juli:

I agree with Del, muggle born wizards don't have
anything to do in the Muggle World, what kind of job
could they get? an accountant, an architect, what?
they have no training for any muggle job, unless if
after Hogwarts they went to muggle high school and
college, but who would like to do that? It looks like
Wizard kids don't take any muggle classes like math or
science, so how can they do anything productive for
the Muggle world? OTOH in the Wizard world they can do
meaningful chores like fight vampires, teach other
children, so many things, so much potential, so why
waste it in the muggle world? I'm no trying to say
that the MW isn't as good as the WW, they're just
different, and in whichever one you grow up in you
must stay, with the occasional visits to the other
world, of course.

Snow:

Have we all forgotten that Hogwarts has a specific class in Muggle 
Studies that Hermione got a 320% in? (POA) Hogwarts by offering this 
class does not appear to dismiss the muggle world or what it may have 
to offer. Hermione wouldn't have been the only child that took Muggle 
Studies or the class would have been cancelled for lack of interest.  

Could Hermione or any child from a muggle background survive in the 
muggle world, I would tend to agree that they could, if they wanted 
to! None of the muggle background children that we have met have been 
discouraged from attending Hogwarts and none have considered going 
home even after the basilisk incident where muggles were the prime 
target.
