Decline in Herbology appreciation : 16th = well respected, nowadays = mocked
Muggles : everything that exists has to be smth that can be seen and studied, there is no "invisible", "incomprehensible"
Wizards : everything that is not related to magic (invisible, incomprehensible) is inferior

Wizards and magical creatures are part of both "realities"
