Are you arguing that all people should feel free to act as they feel
God created them? Or do you put limitations of any kind on that statement?

Aren't they men and women first? Personally, I always saw them as
pretty pathetic. Many people all over the world have had their entire
world taken away from them, but they *bounced back*. Those Muggleborns
are not prevented from going to make a fine living in the Muggle world
for the time being. So why don't they? Are they so brain-washed that
they don't even remember how to live in the Muggle world? It's not
even like they are supposed to go and live in a world they know
nothing of: it's the world they were *born* in! Think of all those
emigrants who lost everything in their country of origin and emigrated
to better places: they were jumping into a world, a life, a society,
even a language they knew nothing about. Now that's courage. Just
sitting around and moping because the big bad wolf has taken your wand
is pretty pathetic in comparison.
