It is also possible that a member of a royal family was born a 
wizard. I mean, a bit farfetched, but perhaps as a wizard he was the 
only one in the royal family to recognize the zombie for what it was 
and to recognize Quirell for his ability to help. I mean, there are 
Muggle borns in every other level of society so why not royals?
