Alla:

Nope, not for that. For the possibility of having your unique gift 
developed, even if it means that you will endure a lot of hardships 
in this new world.

I can very easily find the real life reflection of such situation - 
immigration.

Myself and my family had been through a lot (just as all immigrants, 
we are definitely not unique in that) when we came to America, but I 
am not exaggerating, when I am saying that every moment of suffering 
had been worth it.

I had very little possibilities of developing my gifts and abilities  
in my country.

Just as muggleborns have no possibilites of developing their gift of 
magic in "our" world.
