> Wow, I didn't get that at all! Our main character is Harry, and he 
suffers
> from discrimination based on talent, not race--Petunia hates him 
because
> he's magical,

In the Universe of Rowling's creation this particular talent means 
belonging to a different race. Muggles and wizards are two breeds

> Pippin:
>not because he has tainted blood.

> Pippin:

> point that he'd be perfectly welcome to join the Death Eaters if 
they weren't
> trying to do him in. 

a_svirn:
I thought he made quite the opposite point. 

> Pippin:
Voldemort says himself, at the age of sixteen, that
> killing Muggles and Mudbloods doesn't matter to him anymore, what 
matters
> is finding out why Harry had the power to vanquish the greatest
> wizard in the world.
