As an historian, I'd be interested to learn how JKR envisions the level of involvement of the wizarding element of British society, and of other nations, in various Muggle events, for instance World War 2. Several time it was mentioned that Dumbledore's famous duel occurred in 1945. Were Muggle wars simply beneath their notice? Loyalty obviously plays a major role in these stories, so do wizard help defend the country against attack? I just don't see it as a case of, you might say "Wizards Without Borders". Perhaps this might be something JKR would approach in "Hogwarts: A History" or "A History of Magic"
