Wizarding supremacy

"Gellert – Your point about Wizard dominance FOR THE MUGGLES' OWN GOOD – this, I think, is the crucial point. Yes, we have been given power and yes, that power gives us the right to rule, but it also gives us responsibilities over the ruled."

- A letter from the young Albus Dumbledore to Gellert Grindelwald.

Many wizards, even those who oppose discrimination based on blood status, regard themselves as superior to the non-magical Muggles. While many are content with simply remaining separate from muggle society, some believe that the world would be a better place with wizards in charge.




 * Percival Dumbledore gained a reputation as a Muggle hater for his attack on three Muggle boys. What was not widely known however, was that his attack was an act of retribution for their assault on his daughter Ariana, which left her severely traumatised. He never revealed the true motives for his attack to prevent his daughter from being confined to St. Mungo's for the rest of her life. As his wife Kendra was a Muggle-born witch, it is debatable whether Percival harboured any prejudicial views.
 * The wizard in The Wizard and the Hopping Pot believed that Muggles were worthless, in contrast with his father's attitude. However, after the Hopping Pot began relentlessly tormenting him for not helping his Muggle neighbours, he changed his opinion and started helping the Muggles.
