Wizards are such shitty people to all non-wizards JFC No boundaries whatsoever Remember that one of the basic first-year spells they all have to learn is Alohomora, a spell that JK ROWLING'S OWN (inaccurate) ETYMOLOGY SAYS is a "spell for stealing shit from Muggles"

"Look if they wanted that locked door to *mean* anything they would've made the effort to be born with magical powers and cast the Anti-Alohomora Charm And the fact that they didn't bother to do that means su casa es tu casa"

Man this just makes the goblins as bankers thing even more weird now that I really think about it. By the time this stuff happened in the books I was checked out as Rowling's editors were... and maybe she herself was too

It is an explicit thing in-universe that the reason the goblins run the banks (as this "neutral" party like Swiss bankers) is they fucking hate wizard magic and have developed all these antimagic countermeasures
