Sorry, Gunthar _is_ a Muggle, or at least I believe he is, and it was
not meant in any pejorative sense, rather a simple stament of fact, or
perhaps an assumption.
Rowlings is being sued over _that_??? Gee, I wonder if this would be
happening if Rowlings were still an unemployed single mother scribbling
on the napkins in a coffe shop in Edinburgh. How dare she steal that
word and change its meaning???
