Pippin:

It seems to me jobs are like marriages, the people who are 
happy in them can find just as many things to complain about 
as the ones who aren't. We can't be sure Stan and Ernie aren't 
happy and contented because they've been taught not to aspire 
to anything better, just like the House Elves.

I do wonder about the person who has the potential to be a 
skillful surgeon or a brilliant software engineer, but has only a 
mediocre magical talent. Are they really better off in the WW? It's 
fun to wish we were witches and wizards, but the law of 
averages predicts that half of us will be less talented than the 
other half.
