Finwitch:

Maybe you could look at the various cultures predating Judeo-
Christianity - or the Empire of Rome at least. Look at the cultures 
considered as *primitive*. Each one had some sort of shaman... the 
Healer, the Necromancer, the Advisor... never the Chief, but the one 
doing tribe-rituals -- like the funerals... and thus, in a way, MORE 
important than the Chieftain.

Or look at Merlin's position as the king's advisor and teacher. (to 
Uthor, but certainly to Arthur)

I'd say that if you want the magical one, it's the shaman or the 
healing woman -- anyway, well respected place in the ancient society.

That was the place for wizards and witches. Ancient culture respected 
magical talent, if feared it as well. You just didn't insult the 
Druid/shaman/Healer/Mystical man... and you had better do as he told 
you, as well. 

(as for Muggles today, you DO take orders from your doctor, right? 
You take the pill as ordered? You - er - don't eat or drink and go 
take that blood-test in the laboratory... Or give them your urine-
sample?... Imagine trying to explain these things to Arthur Weasley 
who at least would WANT that information, much unlike Malfoys!)

Anyway... the wizard had always been there. Always.
