It's the same kind of phrase as "green with envy". No one's actually green. "White-faced" in a context where someone is scared shitless (as in that part of the book) just means paler than their usual skin tone, not Caucasian.

[(Anonymous)]

Not really? Paling noticeably is something that happens. Getting green coloured skin? Not so much. It's not the same kind of figure of speech.

[alexi_lupin]

Paling is indeed a thing that happens but it doesn't exclusively happen to white people.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, not exactly. Someone who is scared shitless can go into shock, because all the blood is suddenly not flowing correctly anymore. So, white-faced can be totally meant literally, blood leaving that area, no proper circulation - face looks pale.

[alexi_lupin]

Face looks paler than usual, yes. I get that. Because the blood leaves. I'm just saying the phrase by no means applies only to white people. So it's a poor piece of proof that Hermione is specified as a white person race-wise.

I'm mixed race but on the paler side and I know my face can noticeably pale from its usual colour. Someone could easily describe that as "white faced" and be right, but I still wouldn't be caucasian.
