Excellent points, from a purely logical point of view.  I don't think 
we will see anything of this nature in the series, because JKR has 
already said that the split between the two worlds was permanent and 
that we won't see the two of them come together.

>From a point of view of purely practical writing issues, I have to 
say I see readily where she is coming from.  JKR has enough on her 
hands just dealing with the wizarding world and the Voldy crisis.  
Trying to address the intricacies of Muggle/Wizard interaction would 
just be too much, and would jerk the series down a very different 
path than the one she has so far emphasized.  Any kind of 
Muggle/Wizard developing dynamic would likely require seven more 
books, and probably should be set within a fresh context (i.e. after 
Voldy War II) in order to avoid elephant disease of the plot.
