“Some very insightful answers there. Although history is largely based on fact, I still think it’s important to understand the emotional response behind decisions that have led to history being shaped.”

“Just because there are some negative connotations with placing heavy importance on family doesn’t mean there aren’t positives too. After all, it was a mother’s love that saved Harry Potter’s life.” Plenty of other examples too that the students were welcome to explore in their own time should they want to. “Family doesn’t have to be blood related either, it can be chosen.”

“I trust that we are all in agreement that the world has shifted in a positive direction since the start of last century, even for the names mentioned on that list. Before we get onto our main activity and I let you loose on our writing utensils, I have a final question for you all. Can you name a family not already listed that has achieved something positive for the community and what it is that they have done.” There was a whole backlog of families that together have achieved greatness rather than the individual.

OOC: Thank you for bearing with us here. Very happy to take canon and SS canon examples for this question. You have around 24 hours.

Being muggle born herself, she would have been proud to be part of the Weasley family or at least friends with them. "Well,being muggle born I don't care for it. But I wonder if they were concerned about witches and wizards dying out if they didn't continue to have children with other pure bloods." Greer wasn't sure she add what she was thinking. "But that obviously did not happen, and now days I think people just have less discrimination. All though it will never fully go away will it." But Greer was thinking, and gratefuly that she herself had not run into anything of the sort in her 2 years at Hogwarts. Such wise words from the younger ones at Hogwarts and an opinion that should very much be valued and appreciated. “I agree that there might have been some belief that marrying muggles might have somehow lessened magical ability. Although time has evidently proved this theory wrong, some of our greatest witches and wizards have been Muggleborn or Halfblood.” Quote: Originally Posted by Zoe After a moment's thought, she raised her hand again. "I think the importance placed on family and status was a way to maintain control and a sense of superiority," Gillyweed offered. "By keeping bloodlines 'pure,' certain families could ensure they stayed powerful within the wizarding world, limiting influence from outside groups—like Muggle-borns—who they believed threatened that power. They likely saw it as a way to protect their traditions and way of life." “I think there is something to be said that there was a fear that Muggleborns could hinder influence and power, if they truly considered them lower than themselves then they shouldn’t have that concern in the first place. It just proves that we are ALL capable of greatness, don’t you think?” The Professor replied to the excellent words from the fourth year. “Some very insightful answers there.
