Montavilla47:

Yeah, well my family is Muggles, and all wizards (with the possible 
exception of Harry) tend, at best, to adopt a paternalistic racism towards
Muggles.  So, if I'm going to be dating a wizard at all, I'd have to deal with 
that in any case.

As far as racism towards Muggleborn that would just strike my family
as ridiculous.  And, again, as long he's goaded into using foul language, 
it would probably be glossed over as "wizard" eccentricity.

Montavilla47:
Yes.  I was thinking of it as during the time when he was teaching, 
rather than when he was quasi-fugitive from the law. I don't think he
would have had time to go on potential family-in-law dinners once 
he became Headmaster.
