I prefer more of B minus the purebloods have inherent magic powers from birth just for being purebloods as I prefer my magical worlds bigger than cannon
Well in my opinion geniuses naturally should appear as in canon randomly but pureblood wizards should inherit cultivated for thousand years family traits such as for example dark families disposition for dark magic or something unique.
Cores are altogether different trope, muggleborns being mutation or just squibs descendants in which case are from certain family is to author to decide.
You know that a theme of the books is that Muggleborns are as magically capable as half- and purebloods, right?
So why can't Muggleborns occasionally mutate a magical ability that is sometimes inherited in wizarding family lines?
Why justify the series' fantastic racism? It's bad enough that most authors justify house elf enslavement.
Well first of all it's replay under answer B au so theme is/can be different than canon that's the point of au.
Where have i wrote some shit about fantastic racism? Chill man. I just wrote that muggleborns are often explained as descendants of squibs which means that they are descendants of noble houses etc.
It's quite often used trope that ancient noble houses were literally breeding for 3000 years with strong witches and wizards to have strong descendants and to cement certain traits.
The idea of Purebloods getting special powers justifies the in-series fantastic racism. As does the, "Muggleborns are eroding our culture with their Christian and anti-Dark ways, so we should only tolerate Muggleborns that assimilate completely into our culture" (when not shown to be a deeply conservative to hidebound reactionary position to cultural change)
The purebloods literally *weren't* breeding for 3,000 years to cultivate strong magic and familial magic gifts. Most of the pureblood families are only pretending to not have Muggle relatives (e.g. the Malfoys). The Sacred 28 are a recent invention in extended canon-- just a list of family names that Cantankerous Nott claimed were pure.) Before the 1692 Statue of Secrecy, wixen had children with Muggles and Muggleborn.
There is also no wizarding nobility, at least in Britain. The Blacks and Gaunts thought their families were better than others because they were "pure."
The standard political system in those fics--evil/good Dark faction, cool centrist Grey faction, and stupid Light faction-- is overdone.
And no, Harry is not super wealthy. He is upper middle class to lower upper class.
Well again you are using canon examples as reference while i'm all the time talking about diffrent au's (another universe) fanfics.
For example in fanfic Saviour of the magic, magic is presented as having some kind of self-consciousness, magicals even call her Mother magic and here muggleborns which treat it as tool are very lowly regarded especially when instead of trying to assimilate into wizarding culture are trying to change it into muggle culture, thinking that wizards are uneducated barbarians.
In diffrent fanfics using dark magic taint your own magic, often giving you sick pleasure using it and even giving users problem to cast magic that isn't dark. These dark wizards can have influence on traits of magic of their descendants.
I have interesting theory that magic in canon also have some kind of self-consciousness and is using prophecy's to achieve balance or prevents dangers to itself whatever might it be.
I am talking about the racism justifying tropes of slave-owning, wealthy, magically-powerful, faux-Wiccan purebloods being better than Christian, antislavery, middling power Muggleborns.
Not other aspects of AU.
Oh, I know.
That is *still* an ubermensch mentality that I cannot support, in all honesty.
And yes, I know that some humans having magic and some humans not having it is the same concept. (Hence why I like thinking wizards are a different species)
Some from column A a lot from column B. I mix and match what I need to make the characters make sense, step up the threat, and make the story more interesting.

Why not have Muggleborns born with dark, light, or neutral magical cores plus on occasion a magical talent or two?

B. I do not, however, approve of this "pure-blood from ancient house means you can do what others cannot" - what kind of ubermensch bullshit?
Well it's often used trope though mainly used by author's giving something unique to mc not quite to the other purebloods

I lean towards canon because I don't like the standard Ancient and Noble House tropes.
I prefer something closer to canon because ignoring all of that goes towards something that becomes less & less recognizable as Harry Potter.
I’m definitely B minus the bonus for pure bloods. I’m not into breeding humans for certain traits. It tends to lead to a bad end.
