Betsy Hp:
While tripping through the on-line world of Harry Potter discussion  
a year or so ago I ran across a theory that there's actually a very 
strong "muggleborn" group of students who share the news on what's 
up on "EastEnders" (or the soap of your choice) and the latest 
football scores, and possibly smuggle in supplies of coke (the erm, 
drink, heh).  

Dean would be a strong member of course, since he refuses to give up 
football.  But we don't hear anything about it because Hermione is 
so intense about fully assimilating.

The theory was spun mostly for a laugh (IIRC), but it rang awfully 
true to me.

At first you'd think they'd have to.  After all, Hermione isn't 
going to have the sort of credentials required to make it in the 
muggle world.  She doesn't even have her O levels.  (And how do 
muggle parents deal with that when enquiring friends and family 
wonder where little Colin will be going to University, or how has 
that fancy school served young Dean?)

But then again, I suppose proper credentials are easily forged.  And 
there must be *some* sort of passing going on for "half-bloods" to 
occur.

Though I will say, I think modern technology has it all over the WW 
in many ways.  And I think the WW thinks so as well.  How else to 
explain the WW wireless?  It must have been a grab from the muggle 
world.  No way wizards would come up with the name "wireless", 
seeing as they don't generally deal with wires.
