A good narrative strategy (was Re: All the World's Problems; )

I also think it points out why from the point of view of story 
construction and narrative strategy,JKR keeps the Wizarding World 
and the Muggle World as far apart as she can.  Trying to deal with 
any kind of interface between them just raises far too many messy 
questions and would drag up all sorts of issues she doesn't want to 
deal with.  

<SNIP>

However, on the question of basic rules  like the existance of 
wizards and the fact that they live pretty much totally apart from 
the rest of us, I think she is justified in asking us just to take 
that at face value and go on.  And I think that is all it really 
amounts to.

I think this is one of the simplest and the best explanations of the 
split of muggle and magical worlds I have ever read.

I am still wondering though why JKR specifically pointed out that 
the two worlds will not mesh at the end of the story. You know, 
theoretically, when story is done, she  can briefly explore the good 
things which could come out of the fact that Wizards will make 
themselves known to the muggles and not to deal with possible messy 
issues.

Do you think it would still compromise the narrative if two worlds 
were to meet at the end?
