kjirstem:

There is some indication that at least the Prime Minister knows about
the WW (isn't there? I could have sworn there was but I can't find it
now...).  I wonder how they deal with taxes.  I'd assume the WW pays
for the Ministry of Magic, etc, but you'd think someone in the MW
would get suspicious of Muggle-borns when they don't pay taxes.  I
guess those Muggles never notice nuffink.  

The thing that bugs me a little about all the Muggle-borns falling
through the cracks of the RW is that it corresponds pretty well with
Vernon Dursley's view of the WW.  It means he's basically right - that
wizarding folk aren't fine, upstanding members of society (at least as
he knows it) - I think that would have to be true for them not to be
noticed.  I hate the thought that he might have some basis for that
conclusion.
