the kind of cognition Malfoy used in hpmor to think about whether magic is heritable
Magic is heritable in hpmor. The only question was whether it’s binary (one gene) or continuous (many genes, leading to a spectrum of blood purity). If you want to teach that kind of critical thinking, get ready for the fireworks when your students start asking which abilities in our world are heritable, binary or continuous.

Luckily, I don’t know much about genetics. I totally forgot that, I’ll edit the question to reflect it.
To be sure though, did what I mean about the different kinds of cognition come across? I do not actually plan on teaching any genetics.
Yeah, it came across.
