The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

Hogwarts is not elite. Anyone can enrol if they have magical ability. It's addressed in a later book that attendance is not mandatory but nearly every witch and wizard in Britain is educated there. It's just a school that doesn't even have an admittance exam.

if they have magical ability

That's exactly what makes it elite. There's automatically a class system.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean, do you want non magical people to attend a magical school?

The fact that magic is only for some, that's the elitist part. There are some people that are inherently better than others

They could just fail every class for 8 years and be passed to the next anyway.

No different then public school system st the end of the day.
