[Harry Potter] Do the rights of a wizard supersede the rights of a parent or guardian?

Dursley’s did not want Harry going to Hogwarts.  Hagrid said; “If he wants ter go, a great Muggle like you won’t stop him”.

So what is he saying here? Do the rights of a child wizard, trump the rights of the muggle parent or guardian?

What if Hermione’s parents weren’t as accepting as they were? Let’s say their faith or fear or for whatever other reason, they respectfully declined the offer from Hogwarts... but Hermione, being a child, is amazed at the idea of a magical world and wants to go... does the wizarding community have the right to take that child away from her parents?

I was thinking that the wizards might have some sort of sound counter argument in Obscurus, but I’ve read that Obscurials are created by cruel treatment (“when magical talent is suppressed through physical or psychological trauma”)... but what is considered cruel treatment? Is a child wanting something that a parent doesn’t want to give them considered cruel? What if a parent requests that the child wait until they’re of age, to make that decision for themselves, but while they’re under their roof, it’s their rules.

Even in the wizarding world, a child under the age of 17 has to follow rules and get permission from parents and guardians.

Edit in:  think of it like this; I’m a parent and my daughters are my everything.  If a guy in a pointy hat came to my door and told me that my one daughter was a wizard and they wanted to take her to a boarding school...as a parent, I’d be skeptical... I’d start asking questions...

Once we got to the part where I’m told that my daughter would not be learning math or history or science or any of the other practical academics, I’d be a little hesitant on stopping education at the 5th grade, so she can go study to be a wizard. Once I learned that she would be given a weapon (wand) but taught how to use it responsibly.. I’d be even MORE hesitant...

I say; “come back when she’s finished school and an adult... if you’d like to teach her then, by all means, that will be her right... but as her father, I think it’s best she stay with me”

Are you telling me they would take my daughter anyway? She’s 11 years old.. hell yeah, wizarding sounds cooler than math at that age, but so does eating junk food and staying up late and watching tv all day... as parents, we work to groom our children into adults...

Under wizarding law? Yes. It's often archaic and often infected by wizarding superiority ideology. 

The fact that *murdering* a muggle is illegal is a point of *contention* among wizards.
