Even if it was only a small number of dissidents, there are a 
thousand instances of what a *small* group can do to larger ones. I 
think that Wizards would quickly become extinct if they revealed 
themselves to the world. They don't exactly seem to be excessive 
breeders like muggles. It wouldn't even take a lot of people to hunt 
wizards to extinction.

As for Muggles using magic, I'm not sure that's even possible. I 
think it's really an either / or proposition. I doubt most electronic 
medical equipment would even work on a wizard, and I doubt most 
magical solutions would even work for muggles. I admit it's my own 
fanwank but I think it makes sense. After all, don't you think that 
wizards would use techonlogy if it was reasonably feasible to do so?

As for their elitism, I think the wizards are justified in their 
beliefs, to a certain extent. Let's face it, the ability to use magic 
is a far larger difference than skin color, gender, or the ability 
to pee standing up. Magic makes a joke out of the fundamental 
natural laws that we muggles use in our everyday lives. That's pretty 
darn impressive. I don't think that wizards are morally superior to 
us or that their lives are somehow worth more, but I think in terms 
of ability, wizards have the edge on us.

I know I think it would be cool to be a wizard.
