I'm a philosophy student that tends to post about really serious things unseriously and about really unserious things seriously.

omg there was no one I hated more than Dolores Umbridge
she was objectively, empirically worse than Voldemort
Voldolores Mortbridge
Right? I feel that by the time that Rowling got to the fifth book, her writing skill, and her freedom to explore new themes, had reached a point where she could write a really evil character (a character much more evil in a lot of ways than Voldemort, whose character she had basically already outlined). Like, the scenes where Harry was supposed to be carving sentences into himself as punishment were almost physically painful for me when I was reading them as a kid. They still weird me out.
(There’s also probably a lot to be said about Umbridge as a metaphorical representation of how horrible the average, bureaucratic schooling experience is, but I’m not coherent enough right now to flesh that out. I’m thinking something about Freire and his ‘Banking Method’ though.)

Just read somewhere the reason why Snape was such a dick to Neville.
It’s because he wishes Neville would have been the Chosen One instead of Harry (and by extension, would have saved Lily’s life).
WHOA
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.
I CAN’T BELIEVE I NEVER FIGURED THAT OUT.
Whoa.
AND I WAS SUCH A DICK BECAUSE I KEPT THINKING THAT SNAPE WAS JUST A DICK TO NEVILLE.
how the fuck did none of my HP forums ever figure this out
Wait a second: it’s been about a year since I’ve read through all the books, so I’m a bit fuzzy, but did Snape even know the specifics of the prophecy. I thought the only ones who knew were Dumbledore, Voldemort, HarryRonHermione, and maybe some death eaters (along with Professor Trelawney of course)? Everyone knew there was an intimate connection between Harry and Voldemort, obviously, but I didn’t think anyone really knew the connection between Neville, Harry, Voldemort, and the prophecy.
Correct me if I’m wrong here though, because I really can’t remember.
