Kathryn:   
  
>   She also talks about the politics of the books, an element which 
has always jumped out at me, because I am much more political than I 
am religious. I think the Slytherins as Jews argument can be put 
(somewhat) to rest, as she clearly says that Muggles (IF ANYONE) in 
the books would be the persucuted people. 

Magpie:
The Slytherins as Jews argument doesn't have to be put to rest because 
it was never made. It was a misunderstanding of an entirely different 
point, one that acknowledged that obviously Muggle-borns are the 
persecuted people. Could we please stop repeating it as if it were 
ever advanced by anyone?
