You know, I’m suddenly starting to see why goblins aren’t allowed wands.
Compare what we’ve seen of Gringotts and Hogwarts security, given that the latter arguably contains the more valuable resource.
IIRC, there is such a thing as “goblin nations”, meaning they’ve managed to preserve national sovereignty despite being being as inferior in magic to their oppressors as the Native Americans were in technology. And despite starting a number of wars (the Goblin Rebellions) against said oppressors.
They hold exclusive control over Britain’s only bank, and this goes unquestioned by the general public.
They can already legally hire wizards to do magic for them (cf. Bill Weasley, Curse-Breaker for Gringotts).
The fact that spellcasting is an enormous force multiplier in battle (free teleportation, perfect camouflage, armour-piercing hexes...) may be the only reason why they’re not already the master race.
Thief’s Downfall probably does this.
