You're reminding me, Lizzyben, of a rumor that JKR had to squash 
early on--that the series would end with the Wizards doing away 
with the Statute of Secrecy and reintegrating with the Muggle 
world.

I think that rumor may have started because that is the natural
happy ending, isn't it? The bigotry can't really start to heal 
until the Wizards and Muggles really start to mix together. 

Bob- 
Isn't it sort of a two way street there? Isn't it not only that 
Wizards etc. look at Muggles as being inferior, but also that 
Muggles FEAR the Wizards?

Yes, it would be great for that all to go away, but talk about 
a major paradigm shift, for everyone.  A little bit much for a 
book, or even a series of books to pull off.
