Alla:

I believe the parallel towards racism in the books goes mainly 
towards Muggleborns though. And Muggles, well I believe JKR is 
trying to set two worlds apart sometime succesfully, sometimes not. 
So, while I agree that many good guys have patronising attitude and 
prejudice towards Muggles, I do not remmber anybody on the good side 
wishing **either** Muggles or Muggleborns to die.

That is a huge attitude difference to me.

IMO of course,

Alla.
