JK leans heavily into things “biological nature” or “Born Nature” as a reoccurring theme. Hagrid is inherently violent and Voldemort’s villain back story being he was a rape baby.
Absolutely, I just meant to point out that there’s far more blatant examples so no need to couch your language in phrases like “some have said”. Goblins have been antisemitic caricatures in fantasy for a long time so it’s easy for a bad writer to just regurgitate existing tropes, meaning a racist writer can use that as a shield, but it’s much harder to justify naming your black character after slave imagery.
