AnalysisEdit
Araminta Meliflua seems to have an especially strong hatred for muggles, even compared to the rest of the family. The fact that she tried to make it legal to hunt muggles shows us that she viewed them to a level almost similar to animals. The level of loathing she has towards muggles makes her sound almost like a Death Eater, though we have no evidence that she ever was one or even had anything to do with the organization.
