'Exactly,' said Dumbledore, beaming once more. 'Which makes you very different from Tom Riddle. It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.'
This was the moment when I really started to hate Dumbledore. I'd like to know just what his vendetta against the Slytherins is.
He let Slytherin win the House Cup before Harry came to school because it wasn't important enough to bother him, but when it came to Harry's year, was it Harry's presence alone that made the House Cup important?
Oh, I'm sure! *seethes*
Interesting points re: family above - the Pureblooded Wizarding society is so fascinating to me because it is so insular and weird and backwards. It's like having to live in a very, very small town your entire life, without any hope of escape. They don't have the luxury of moving far away and never having to see the people they went to school with - they're their entire social network, and there is no other alternative other than literally leaving the country or turning your back on magic itself. Weird.
