Essay: Riddle me This

Now that was absolutely fascinating.I have to say, that on reading the books, Voldemort's 'I shall kill all Miggles' seemed pretty pathetic. You have a handful of the Olde Families left (in England) - and from what history tells us about royalty/nobility, there is bound to be a bastard somewhere that became the heir because there was no one else - could the same have occured somewhere in a Pure Blood family? - more Muggle born wizards or those of muggle heritage and a vast muggle population.

If he does succeed killing all the Muggles/Muggle-borns/'Muggle-lovers'... then what? You have something like 300 wizards left - even that figure sounds a tad optimistic (judging from the essay, at any rate). Inter-marrying so much until you're virtually all related (I at times get the feeling that Squibs are a result of too much inter-family marriages: the blood is so pure, it becomes worthless, so to speak) and genetic mutations begin to occur more commonly.

Well, that's all I can think up of for now. Better stop there...
