That's kind of the whole point of the Cormoran Strike books, like the "Robert Galbraith" persona and Cormoran Strike himself as a narrator are JKR putting on this mask of a tough working-class war veteran badass macho dude so she can just go ham on being a huge asshole

Wizards, conversely, have the magical cure for cancer and can heal any "non-magical disease or injury" but they never share it with Muggles and that's their right Let those Muggles die in Muggle hospitals, it's not their problem

Anyone who's actually in the know about the Wizarding World and actually angry about it, who sees the hoarding of all this power that could prevent so much suffering by a tiny elite as unjust, is just a bitter jealous hag, like Petunia Dursley Ignore the liars and the haters

My argument is it's *actually even worse*. There's only actually one line in Book 2 where the narrator roots ability in blood, an aside about Muggles as "not a drop of magical blood in their veins", and that can be read figuratively--c.f. not a magical hair on their head.

If you read that figuratively, every other statement of the idea is voiced by a character and therefore could be wrong. So we actually have no reason (other than fuckin eugenics) to assume that any Muggle couldn't learn magic if they weren't kept in ignorance of it.

It freaks me out that wizards think it's perfectly fine for them to alter muggle memories when even Ron's dad, who is obsessed with muggle technology, understands SO LITTLE of muggle culture that he asks little-mermaid-level questions about basic stuff.
