She doesn't want to make it seem to Miles like he grows up into someone rotten - even though that's absolutely, completely true. Or - not rotten, but definitely a jerk. Because he isn't...corrupt, exactly, but...But he is someone who would side with the magicians. Someone who would be a magician if they were at home. And that's something to hate.
