things & stuff

Hagrid was an alcoholic.

Cornelius Fudge essentially murdered someone.

Harry once used the Cruciartus Curse on someone.

Fenrir Greyback intentionally targeted children.

Albus Dumbledore may have killed his sister.

A disguised Death Eater once put an entire class under his control.

The Bloody Baron killed Helena Ravenclaw.

Neville Longbottom was tortured mercilessly for refusing to practice the Cruciatus Curse on first years.

Alice and Frank Longbottom were tortured to insanity. They will never get better.

Hermione Granger kept an adult woman trapped in a jar for an extended amount of time.

Luna Lovegood watched her mother die.

James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew illegally became animaguses to keep their friend company on full moons, knowing full well that it could get them hurt and arrested.

Minerva McGonagall staked out the Dursely household for an entire day, and confirmed that they were not an appropriate family for Harry Potter to grow up in. Albus Dumbledore disregarded her opinion and left Harry in a domestically abusive household that starved him.

Frankly, babies need attention. They need to be fed, burped, and hummed to sleep. They need their diapers changed. They need toys to play with. They cry a lot when they are teething, and need things to chew on. Toddlers also need attention. They throw tantrums and cry when they don’t understand something. They act all strong and important, but still need someone to scare away the monsters at night. They are curious and ask questions about everything. It’s natural. But do you think the Durselys sang Harry to sleep? Do you think the Durselys tried to gently calm toddler Harry down when he had a tantrum and threw his bowl of food? No.

Luna Lovegood was bullied. She had her things stolen and scattered all over Hogwarts.

He also allowed abusive teachers like Snape to continue their tutelage, and did nothing to stop the endless bullying of students like Luna and Neville. 

Merope Gaunt raped Tom Sr. as love potions take someone’s free will away from them. She forced him into marriage, into moving, and into having sex with her. Yes he is an ass, but she is not in the right either.

Hagrid illegally crossbred creatures.

Harry nearly killed Draco with a spell he knew nothing about and foolishly used.

Umbridge tortured students and Fudge did so by prox for giving her permission to do whatever she wanted.

Trelawney told 13 years olds that they were going to die and even repeatedly harassed one student in particular.

Barty forced Neville to watch a curse that ruined his parents.

Snape forced a possibly deadly potion down Trevor’s throat just to hurt amd embarrass Neville.

An entire House of students are treated terriby simply because a few were bad eggs.

1. going to a school where he is continuously alternately loved or ostracized by his peers while his teachers stand back and let it happen

2. verbally abused, mind-raped, almost murdered, tortured and neglected by various people in positions of authority

3. forced into a legally binding contract against his will, slandered in the media, and put on trial for a minor violation with no formal apologies when the actions prove to be baseless nor offered legal aid or council to counter the effects

2. The Goblins train magical creatures to expect pain and suffering when they hear a small bell.

3. Grindelwald and Dumbledore planned to rule the world together as Masters of Death.

4. Fudge stationed soul sucking monsters that cannot truly be controlled nor killed, over a school containing magical Britain’s future.

5. Umbridge tried to have Harry Kissed by sending Dementors after him.

6. Umbridge tried to use the Cruciatus on Hermione and Harry.

7. Fudge tried to move onto Harry’s punishment without giving him any chances to defend himself(which is illegal).

8. House Elves are expected to punish themselves severely for the most ridiculous cases of disobedience or mistakes.

9. Hufflepuffs are the kind to gossip first and ask questions later, Slytherins are the kind of kill you first, ask questions later, Gryffindors will accuse and attack you first and ask questions later, and Ravenclaws are so sure of their intelligence, they won’t bother to ask question and will just condemn you.

10. Speaking to a snake is equivalent to being a Dark Lord and it makes you evil.

Dumbledore knew that Draco was trying to kill him but did nothing to prevent Draco from killing others to get to him

The Marauders and Lily were only 20 when Harry was born (21 when James and Lily were murdered)

Harry was in all likelihood an unplanned pregnancy

An 11 year old girl was possessed and almost murdered by a future dark lord for a year and no one noticed and when the truth was discovered all she got in the way of help was hot chocolate and a lecture

Before Harry’s first year, Slytherin had won the House and Quidditch Cups for the last 7 years (probably because of Snape’s preferential treatment towards his house and constant belittlement of every other house)

Harry, at 14, witnessed a friend’s murder and the return of his parents’ murderer who was intent on killing off most of the wizarding population and not only did no one believe him, the media and government openly mocked him for speaking the truth

On that same vein, after said trauma he was cut off from his support system and sent back to an abusive home and spent a month and a half expecting to murdered any day

Lucius Malfoy almost indirectly murdered Ginny Weasley just because he wanted to ruin Arthur Weasley’s career

Harry and Hermione left Umbridge for dead in the Forbidden Forest

Horace Slughorn was allowed to create an elitist networking group of students for his own personal gain

There are clearly no laws in the wizarding world to protect minors from the media

There are no regulations on the selling or administration of love potions

Someone sent Hermione Bubotuber Pus that could’ve killed her after Rita Skeeter said she was two timing on Harry and Krum

Barry Crouch Senior snuck his Death Eater son out of prison and kept him under the Imperious Curse for over a decade
