1. No-Maj could easily be accused of being a witch and then...they really would die and the Magic community would feel really bad. There were also plenty of Muggles hurt during the war with Voldemort even though that was in the future, there were definitely incidents before then that made that a realistic worry.
Of course, they also would have seen what the army did to the No-Maj Native Americans, too.
2. A witch or wizard might forget their spells in a stressful situation and die anyway.
3. Verbal harassment hurts, too.
What seems really weird is that the No-Maj interaction rule apparently wasn't lifted until 1965 during the Civil Rights movement?
So, does that mean that Jacob and Queenie move overseas? I forget what Honeydukes history is but now I'm kind of imagining they founded it or at least ran it together.
