Basically a matter of "what can we do to diversify the characters' races" (some out of genuine interest, some for brownie points) mixed with "Indian people are one of the biggest minorities in the UK" and they went from there. I don't mind those interpretations at all, but I have seen my fair share of "how dare you not subscribe to this progressive headcanon du jour, you utter racist" flung at artists who still draw them as white and that's just shitty.

I heard rumour the Asian genes in James' family came from JKR as seen it for ages but would be inconsistent with his family's background unless they just ignored all none-whiteness and just brushed it under the rug. However, I read the books first in 2005 and it was not anything substantial as followed that up recently as was curious at the origin. Hermione though never sounded anything to me but higher middle class so could be anything as whole 'colourblind' theme was doing great when her parents had her. However, her being drawn as none-white being a substantial percent is recent with theatre casting. More interested in the James bit as it resurfaced now after being erased by 5th film (and being 40 in 1st...).
