That's a good point. I suppose fear of Muggles existed even back then, though it is a little hard to imagine. But then again it's a little hard to imagine how anything must have been way back before people began to keep historical records.

It makes sense. When we are younger and don't have those walls we are able to believe in something fully--even in a sense, passionately. In ways we can't when we're older. With such self-imposed constraints it is no wonder things become so much more difficult to do.

I would like to very much.
