[Harry Potter] I'm a first-year student at Hogwarts, and both of my parents are Muggles. They were surprised to read my letter with me, and my dad has encouraged me to try and take (Muggle) high school coursework designed to synergize with my magical schoolwork. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm interested in most major areas of... "Muggle" schoolwork at my high school, including:

\-history, especially western/eastern colonialism

\-philosophy (which imo should be interesting when combined with magic, especially the history of thought.... I suspect some scientists and philosophers may have also been wizards)

\-plants and botany. (I understand "herbology" is taught but I also have interest in the vascular systems of flowering plants, and the relationship between flowering plants and nonflowering plants.... Does biology need to be rewritten to include magical creatures in ecosystems?)

And thoughts like that.

They told me the Magical community lives in secret from Muggles, so I was wondering about this relationship. I know there are Muggle Studies but it seems to me that too much of a separation or gap between communities of learned people is going to cause some serious problems for life on either side of that separation, or gap. Thank you!!!

If you have the time and energy to handle a Muggle course-load on top of your Hogwarts course load, while still leaving time to not go psychotic from lack of sleep and socialization, then go for it; if you can, write a letter to the Headmaster telling them your plans and asking if you can get the same deal Hermione Granger received after her basilisk encounter. Of the three areas of interest, botany is the one most likely to have interesting synergy with wizard studies, and philosophy & logic could have a good payoff if you find yourself in a public facing or leadership role in the future. (Muggle) History is probably going to be the lowest payoff, since there's no guarantee that the Muggle account of things is going to line up with the "official" version taught in Muggle Studies, and you'd need to keep the two split up in your head to keep from flunking your tests. 

As far as the Muggle Studies curriculum, do the minimum and get out unless you plan to make a career out of it somehow. It's pretty much a shitty anthropology course where the instructors and book writers hold the culture being studied in either thinly-veiled contempt or open contempt. 

(Also, as a side note, there's a fic out there called Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality that explores similar themes about achieving synergy between advanced muggle studies of conventional sciences with the ability of wizards to directly manipulate matter and energy.)
