<<Irene:

I was horrified by that remark. Imagine if we had heard Draco making a similar remark in that epilogue: "don't get too friendly with that girl, grandpa Lucius will be horrified." And Ron's remark is completely symmetric, and just as rasist (or whatever your analogy to the blood issue in Potterverse) . Then again, I don't know why was I surprised. Hagrid said in book 1 - Malfoys are bad blood, nothing good will ever come out of this boy. 7 books was too long to hope for a reversal, I should have realised sooner what JKR is about.

There is this quote somewhere, that when a slave dreams of a better world, the dream is not about everyone being free, it's about him being slaveowner.

JKR's idea of the reversal of a bad situation is another bad situation.

  Ron's remark was a joke in bad taste, he was only half serious. Both Ginny and Hermione quickly make the point to Rose that he was only joking. To be honest is Scorpius were a decent bloke ron with be thrilled. All the Weasley poverty problems would be solved once and for all. LOL!
   
  This was JKr making one last joke, poking fun at her own world really. 
   
  It's the father in law he might have problems with.
