While Nettie thought it was a little blunt to call the goblins BLOODTHIRSTY, that older Hufflepuff girl did have a point. This was hard. Nettie was totally on the side of letting goblins have wands, because it didn't seem fair that magical creatures that had human intelligence couldn't use wands, especially if they had magic. But she'd challenged herself to argue for the other side - and that's what she was gonna do.

She raised her hand again, out of politeness for the rest of the class. Gotta wait your turn in a civil debate! "Many wizards across history have been able to do wandless magic just as well as magic with their wands. Goblins could be given an opportunity to learn how to use their magic in that same sense. The wands simply add a vessel to our magic, and help us direct it. If Goblins just bypass that, and learn how to control their magic and use it like wandless magic, there's no need for the wands to be issued," she explained. She tried to act confident and sure in her answer, despite the fact that she wasn't sure how strong that argument was. But she kept thinking of Voldemort and Grindelwald, who could use wandless magic. Sure, the wand HELPED, but they were still extremely powerful without it.
