RE: Muggle-borns at Hogswart

Perhaps they continued to allow them there in order to keep an eye on 
them...So that Hogswarts became a type of Warsaw Ghetto for Muggle-born 
students. If they just let these children go back to their Muggle 
families, they wouldn't be able to monitor them or "examine" them. 

The Muggle-borns were suspected of stealing magical powers and how they 
stole it was a question that the DEs wanted "answered". Something tells 
me is a thinly veiled allusion to human experimentation, similar to the 
kind that Mengele did at Auschwitz---that Muggle-borns were tortured 
under the excuse of determining how they stole magical powers. 

Neville admitted that the Carrows tortured students and that Michael 
Corner was tortured for freeing a first year student. Moreover, the 
professors tried not to send anyone for disciplining as much as 
possible. 

So I guess the professors and the DA pure bloods and half-bloods 
protected the Muggle borns as much as possible, perhaps even to the 
point of saying that they committed the offense and not the accused 
Muggle-born.

RE: Dursley's
I think the Dursley's are the 3 Muggle deaths reported by Potterwatch.
