What Movie Draco Really Meant by "It Doesn't Understand Me"

Why Draco's Redemption Arc would be Unique in the Series

Ariana accidentally saw Albus and Gellert kiss but took their secret to her grave.

Gellert and Ariana were friends, he agreed to Albus’ wish that they take her with them when they ran away, and her death shook him almost as deeply as it shook her brothers.

Harry got Parseltongue abilities from his mother, not from the Horcrux, because Lily is a descendant of a female Gaunt Squib and Parselmouth is a matrilineal trait.

Draco and Harry are both dog people and adopted several puppies over the years.

Molly is not actually a great mother or person.

Sirius is the best parent in the series by a mile.

Narcissa taught Draco everything she knew about astronomy.

Snape was Draco’s summer tutor in other subjects for many years before Draco came to Hogwarts, and on breaks Draco in turn liked to “tutor” Snape on what he’d learned about the stars.

Draco was below only Eileen, Lily, and Dumbledore on the extremely-short list of people for whom Snape had a genuine soft spot.

Harry had a crush on Cedric.

Harry/Cho > Harry/Ginny

Ginny is as cruel to Fleur and Ron as many of the Slytherin “bullies” are to the Gryffindors in HBP; Harry only starts to crush on her when she essentially develops Draco’s personality.

Hinny is toxic on basically every level.

Lucius and Narcissa are only abusive to Draco in the psychological/emotional sense, having raised him on stories of relatives being disowned and kicked to the streets for questioning their beliefs, which caused him to subconsciously assume (falsely) that their love for him was conditional. But there’s never been any physical abuse and Lucius is still one of the better dads in the series.

Though Percy was mistaken in trusting the Ministry, he was totally justified in distancing himself from his family after the way they treated him.

Fred and George are psychopaths without a shred of regret over traumatizing and almost killing their brother, selling date r*pe drugs, and leaving a guy to starve in limbo between two different places.

After Ron, the first Weasley to clock Harry’s true feelings for Draco was Arthur.

Draco forgave Harry for Sectumsempra the moment it happened because part of him felt he deserved it and he saw the horrified guilt in Harry’s eyes.

The Room of Requirement kiss was not Ron and Hermione’s first kiss.

Draco is actually incredibly brave, and to anyone who calls him spineless or cowardly, I’d like to see you work up the nerve to tell a lie that risks your entire family’s lives just because it’s the right thing to do, or know exactly what to do and say when a masked man starts attacking you while you’re cornered and weaponless.

Wolfstar is overrated and largely incompatible with canon.

Harry forgave Dumbledore way too quickly and the conclusion of his arc of questioning Dumbledore is horrifically rushed and sloppy.

Remus didn’t tell Dumbledore that Sirius was an Animagus to properly increase security after Sirius - whom they both believed to be a dangerous killer - broke into a dormitory full of children.

Harry could’ve just used the Floo Network to enter 12GP and check for himself if Sirius was there; no need to ask Kreacher.

Draco didn’t need to spend a year fixing the Vanishing Cabinet; he could’ve just asked the Room to create a passage from Hogwarts to the Three Broomsticks, where he had Rosmerta under his control. If it could make a passage to Hog’s Head, why not another building in Hogsmeade?

The trio didn’t need to starve on the Horcrux Hunt; Hermione could’ve duplicated/increased the quantity of the scraps of food they found. She literally told Ron this was possible, and then never actually did it.

🔥 books

ooh I have so many of these, I’ll have to narrow it down to one per category:

🔥 tv series: Rachel should’ve ended up with Joey on Friends.
