I completely agree with you. One fic that I think deals with this issue in a fabulous way is In Loco Parentis (pay careful attention to warnings).

Here's an excerpt from my rec:

6. The complete divorce between the Muggle and wizarding worlds is beyond ludicrous. So a kid spends eleven years in what Lorraine likes to think of as the real world, visits this real world every summer for seven years, and then goes forward to a life which is partly spent in the real world (if only to visit family and friends), and yet this kid decides that dressing like Fantasia and eschewing technology is clearly the way to go. WTF?! LOL There's a line in this fic where Hestia is all, "The Ministry has got Arthur Weasley in charge of the Misuse of Muggle artifacts, and after thirty years, he still can't pronounce electricity!" There's something really, really bizarre about the insularity of the Wizarding world that has nothing to do with the statute of secrecy. I mean, you can't tell me that waistcoats and jackets with eleventy million buttons are preferable to microfiber and zippers and denim and velcro. I simply cannot believe the average wizard doesn't know that people are starving in Africa, that the U.S. is at war with Iraq, that airplanes fly through the sky. Crazy. And the whole wizarding supremacy thing is a load of bullshit; clearly Muggles are better. They're curing diseases only with the power of their minds and their hard work and their sheer intelligence. When they build tables, they do it with their hands and their rulers and their sweat and their TIME, and how much more does that mean than transfiguring something into a table with a flick of the wand?

Thank you for the rec! I've never read Harry/Snape before but, well, there's always a first time for everything. I haven't read Harry Potter fic in a while. . .maybe it's time to start up again :)

It's been a while since I read the story, but from what I remember, the fic mostly deals with Hermione anyway; she's the POV character and the Snarry is not the point of the story (to me anyway; YMMV).

This is such a deeply fantastic story, mostly for the worldbuilding and other implications.

I will have to check it out. Thank you!

Yiiiiiiis In Loco Parentis! +1s the rec

It's a great story. I think it's a must read for the fandom.

It is 2:38 am and I was going to have an early night, but I thought I'd just have a quick look at your rec before going to bed. Damn it ಠ_ಠ

I'm not buying the Snarry plotline even the tiniest little bit. But I'm only half way so maybe it will seem less ludicrous by the end?

The rest of the fic is golden though. I love fic that addresses how sensationally injust the WW is.

I'm going to be honest and say I don't remember if the Snarry gets less ludicrous. I remember not really giving a damn about that part of the fic and being infinitely more interested in Hermione and the WW at large, so probably no? LOL

I'm glad you're enjoying the rest of the story, though. I really think it's a fabulous and thought-provoking read. The only HP fic that's hit me so hard in the "OMG implications for the Wizarding World" way is one that explores the ramifications of just mind-wiping everyone willy nilly all the time.

:)

I'm a Snarry reader (the anon from above, actually!) and I didn't even realize it's a Snarry fic until I looked at the tags again. I must've not given a damn about the Snarry parts either. Oops? ;D

Heeeeee. :)

Well, we're in the same boat.

(And I like Snarry too!)
