Mum will go on a tear every now and then about how we define people and animals and humans, and how we've spent such a long time thinking of Muggles as animals, and how we can get everyone to think about them as people.

And how there are people who aren't human, too, like goblins and centaurs and anyone else who can think and feel and talk.

You're right. It's definitely a process.

But I do think that both Artie and Ed saw people in front of them. At least for a moment. And that's important.
