Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Araminta Meliflua Black

Overview
Araminta Meliflua was a pure-blood witch and a member of the Black Family. She is Walburga Black's cousin and apparently tried to pass a bill that would make it legal to hunt muggles.

Order of the Phoenix
While looking at the Black Family tapestry, she is one of the names that Sirius points out to Harry. According to Sirius at some point she tried to pass a bill through the Ministry that would make muggle hunting legal.

Relationships with Other Characters
Sirius views Araminta with contempt much like he does with the rest of the family.

Analysis
Araminta Meliflua seems to have an especially strong hatred for muggles, even compared to the rest of the family. The fact that she tried to make it legal to hunt muggles shows us that she viewed them to a level almost similar to animals. The level of loathing she has towards muggles makes her sound almost like a Death Eater, though we have no evidence that she ever was one or even had anything to do with the organization.
