The International Statute of Secrecy is kind of a double-edged sword: it does help keep the magical community safe from the way Muggles can sometimes enter the crowd mentality and lose their sense of individual morals, rights and wrongs, etc. because of what the group is thinking. If the group is thinking that the person with the ~special powers~ really has an unfair advantage and, hm, maybe needs to be silenced somehow...that's very dangerous. But at the same time, what if Muggle and magical people could live in good harmony with magical people out in the open? Imagine how they could help each other! Could potions help cure the sicknesses that ail Muggles? Cancer and such? Never once was the word cancer mentioned in the entire Harry Potter canon, leading me to wonder if it even exists or if some sort of potion kills the bad cells before they start to affect people. Muggles would benefit from that knowledge and could help magical people navigate the confusing aspects of the Muggle world. But again, you have to be cognizant of what could happen if people give in to their darkest thoughts and worst intentions instead of working for a better world for everyone.
