> I think the biggest problem with muggle parents would be 
convincing them this is real. Once that is overcome, I can see a 
very high proportion of these parents agreeing to send their child 
to Hogwarts - not because they necessarily *like* the idea - but 
because it seems to be the only choice available for their child to 
develop the talents they have.

Hi, Shaun! Nice to see you posting. :)

That is exactly what I had been saying in the similar discussion we 
had earlier - I see the majority of Muggle parents doing exactly 
that - choosing to send their children to school, they may not know 
much or even afraid of in order for their children to develop their 
talents.

Or again picking from analogy close to me - just as many middle-aged 
immigrants decide to immjigrate primarily for the sake of their 
children. OK, may be this is not the exact analogy, since parents 
often go with the children. But still many parents go to the unknown 
country, knowing that they really won't have much possibilities to 
develop their professional lives there, but their children will have 
the world opened for them.
