violence and racial tension, but it still seems an odd omission.

Doddie here:

The answer is quite simple....the backlash comes from actions not 
words --namecalling and such... are for posers...there are few 
purbloods left and given the gaunt hisotry...those whom brag about it 
look more foolish that those they are making fun of..

typically we see all talk an no action (during the first few books)

JK wouln't allow Harry & C0.. to dip down into DE & Offspring 
territory by have them behaving just like them..

JK has it right...it is much more satisfactory to read the behavior 
rather than read the words..

Hence we have the "Hermione throws a punch episode"....and Harry 
tosses a lump of mud at draco's head! LOL

Kudos to JK for taking a leaf out of Ghandi's and M.L. King Jr.'s 
book...
