Birgitta:
Ok, sorry to misunderstand.
But by going by that definition isn't for example Luna also
"brainwashed" by her father?

June:
In Luna's case I wouldn't say so. We all learn from our parents and usually what they teach us is correct but some times we find that what they teach us is incorrect. I believe that Luna's father believes what he is teaching her and passing on knowledge is what being a parent is all about. However Lucius is raising Draco to be hateful of anyone who is different. That is very different and in my opinion it is wrong. I read just yesterday an interview with JKR in which she went into what some of the characters went on to be and you will be happy to know that Luna has found that some of the creatures her dad believes in don't really exist and she has become the wizard equivalent of a naturalist and explores finding new creatures. She is also married to the grandson of Newt Scamander, the author who wrote Fantastic beasts and Where to Find Them.
