Another sign that there has been royalty in the wizard world is that 
Voldemort goes by Lord, a purely muggle term unless there was royalty 
and/or aristocracy in the wizard world. Though it does make you 
wonder what happened to the wizard royalty. Did it die out because it 
could be only pure blood, or was it over thrown?
