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.
