* ''Literature/HarryPotter'', the source of the trope name, has a strange twist since the Dursleys [[AbusiveParents hate Harry]] and vice versa.
** In an example of this trope, Hermione and all [[MageBornOfMuggles muggle-borns]] are naturally-gifted humans born to parents who are unaware of magic. Their extended families are presumably unaware of magic as well. It's mentioned a few times on how Hermione has to help her parents with magical-related things, including wizard money. It's also implied that [[spoiler: there was probably a wizard somewhere on the family tree]]; see ''Literature/TheTalesOfBeedleTheBard''.
** The opposite of this is [[MuggleBornOfMages the Squibs]]: they're unmagical humans born to magical families and are usually looked upon with disdain or at least pity. Filch is presumably mean to his students because he is jealous and bitter. An advertisement for a product that teaches magic to Squibs is presented like a Hollywood diet pill, including testimonials. It doesn't work, of course. However, Squibs do serve as excellent (if eccentric) informants, witnesses, and spies for wizards amidst Muggles. The leading explanation for the origin of muggle-borns is that they are descended from squibs who integrated into muggle society.
