Magpie:
For me, I guess that's the reason. Because the Muggle world is my
world, so I know there are people with whom to sympathize, and I wind
up being sort of indignant that "we" are always being shown as such
nothings whenever we're onscreen. Because we're not.

Alla:

But then I have follow up question, which I really should have 
mentioned in my initial post, hehe. Because I do understand the 
argument that you just wrote, but at the same time I find it 
confusing.

What makes you believe that this IS your world? What makes you 
believe that you are the same as muggles of potterverse? Because if I 
could understand it, I would have much easier time to understand 
underlying reasoning and this is really all I am looking for.

I mean, I said many times that I think that world is reflection of 
ours, but to fully accept this world as ours? I just do not see how, 
because wizards do not live near us, no? I mean, it sounds ridiculous 
when I write it like this, but at the same time I do not know how 
else to write it. There is no parallel world to ours, therefore I am 
just unable to see myself as muggle, you know?
