I looked up the spoilers site and found there is more detailed information about The Malfoys. Enjoy!

*Sigh* It's typical fantasy-race fail, and I've seen it everywhere. "My magical creatures/races/whatever are so impossibly awesome that they regard anything we've got as fundamentally worthless! After all, they're so special that if something we had was good, they would already be doing it!"

And come on--just because a world is strange or fanciful to us doesn't mean it's going to appear that way to those who call it home. This point was illustrated masterfully in the children's magical-realism books about the Wayside School. The first book included a short at the end in which the all-knowing yard teacher described a "normal" elementary school--as we know it--to the Wayside School kids, and all of them found it strange and silly, in the same way the antics at Wayside School are considered strange and silly to the target audience.
