Muggles and Wizards

You know, wizards are just adorable. We all  love them anyway, but the way they think Muggles are the cutest things ever and so very interesting is just the darlingest thing. (According to thesaurus.com, "fetching" is synonymous with "adorable". I rather enjoy that word. Mental note to use it more often.) Since we think it's so cute that the wizards think so highly of the Muggles, it's especially depressing when the Dursleys are so rude to the wizards. We all think, "No come on you have to be nice to them they think you're the greatest things ever!" but hey, some things will never change I guess, except it turns out (Deathly Hallows spoiler) that Dudley didn't mind Harry this whole time. As for Aunt Petunia, some things in your past will affect you forever and Uncle Vernon is the normalest person on the planet, so he isn't going to find wizards the most fetching people he's ever met. (See what I did there?) But then, since it's so common, I guess that we forget that it's rather unkind the way some wizards treat the Muggles. I mean, we obviously can't forget since it's basically the whole point of the story, one of the reasons that they want to stop Voldemort, but still. They do horrible spells to them if they can get their hands on them and they say horrible things about them when there aren't any Muggles available to torture. And we just want to say, "I don't care how special you think you are, Voldemort! Sure you're a great and powerful wizard or WHATEVER, but you're still not nearly as cool as you think you are and Muggles are totally decent and awesome people too!" Gosh dang it people, listen to Harry and his friends. Just like we all know in our real world, everyone's a person even if they're different from you. No one said it as good as our friend Kingsley Shacklebolt did: "We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving."
