" However we've already seen via comments from the Weasley twins (if
I recall correctly) that Arthur Weasley's fondness for Muggles is one
of the reason Fudge doesn't support Arthur getting ahead at the
Ministry - a clue to a dangerous undercurrent belief of racial
superiority similiar to what occurred when Hitler took office. Law or
no law, it's ok to have the belief as long as you don't act on it
perhaps? It's what I interpret when I read the books."
Del replies:
The issue is getting muddied again. It doesn't look like Fudge is a
DE, so his holding back Arthur because of the pureblood superiority
could in no way be a clue as to LV's return. It is indeed a clue
(apparently only known to insiders, btw) about the rampant feeling
about Muggleborns among some wizards, but that's no clue as to VWII.
There were many people who disliked the Jews before and during WWII
but who weren't Nazis in any way. And today, many people who hate the
Jews are not neo-nazis at all.
