That is well, I suppose. You did persuade me that "Muggle-borns" are better assimilated than not, and that you have a right to the wizarding world. But one disturbing aspect of Arkham is that they seem to have many more Squibs in families than we do. In the numbers that Waite gave me, the Squib birthrate for two wizarding parents is one in eight, and it’s close to one in four for a Squib and a witch or wizard. I can hear you now, Hermione – "The Americans must not have intermarried as much as British wizard families have" – and you may be right. Prior to Seclusion, most wizarding families in Europe had married Muggles for centuries, and I gather that the Squib-wizard birth ratio in that time was similar to what Arkham sees now. It decreased after Seclusion, but, of course, so did the overall birthrate, with so many fewer partners around.
