I also agree with PeterH's statement on this topic. However the books remain the same whilst we move on (or even grow up!).
Humans are basically curious and we desire to learn more. But if AR's books were ordinary ones, we would have read or half read them and then not given them a further thought.
We might now realise that in no way was the GA upper class, bearing in mind the dictum that moral codes and structures are more likely to be seen in those who aspire to be seen as a higher class than they actually are.
