GEO: And look at what total segregation has accomplished: the rise 
of an elite pureblood class, prejudice against muggle borns and a 
view of wizarding supremacy with muggles being viewed even by muggle 
lovers like Weasley as lower beings compared to the wizards.

GEO: Would they? It's Hagrid's reasoning on why they maintain 
segregation, but would the whole of mankind even 
trust wizards for solutions when we have scientific research?

GEO: Though I agree Magic is something thats probably not 
understandable, but do you really think seriously that the whole of 
mankind will go into a rage and starting lynchings against wizards 
and wtiches. Yes there will be lynchings, pograms and other nasty 
things from various portions of humanity, but I don't think it will 
be as you described.
