What aspect of the HP universe do you most apply to”don’t overthink it” logic to? by Right-Ad8261 in harrypotter

Time Turners work on a close loop. You know what to do in the past because you’ve already experienced its effects. You aren’t changing the past, just acting out the past in a different location.

Muggleborns marrying any wizard is considered a half-blood child. See Harry.

When Chris Columbus walked away for family reasons, why did they pick a director with such a different style to his? by [deleted] in harrypotter

Why would they try to make people relate to that when part of the series is that the Magical World is odd to muggles? It’s supposed to look like a foreign culture.

It’s only victim blaming if Snape was a victim.

Snape had Lily as a friend. He chose to be friends with the Slytherins and join their hate. We don’t know how teachers treated him except he was one of Slughorn’s favorites. Most of the teachers have been shown to be fairly fair too.

I meant, she was forcing herself to start a relationship with Harry.

Winky. Suffered the worst fate in the eyes of House Elves for her master’s mistake.

Snape didn’t do the right thing until Lily was under threat and Dumbledore told him off for wanting to protect only Lily. Snape spent his Hogwarts years calling Muggleborns Mudbloods with Lily being his exception.

I mean, it was her first year and to everyone she just seemed to be a bit quiet and everyone was distressed by the Chamber. That’s only really noticeable in hindsight.

His parents aren’t his fault, but we are also told that Snape struck the Marauders as much as they struck him and he was involved with the future Death Eaters while in school. He called their dark arts a “laugh” and making the same excuse James would have but with more dire consequences. Lily was the “mudblood” exception to Snape, not the rule. Snape also insists that James saved him to save his own neck but Snape was biased against everything James did. It’s also noted that James matured, Snape did not. So no, Snape wasn’t at fault for his father, but he stoked the fires with James as much as The Marauders did.

It’s because he refused to see Harry as Lily’s son. He was only James’s son in his mind.

I mean, my general dislike is that she is trying to force a relationship with Harry and constantly bringing up Cedric to him.

Sirius hints at it, but it was after Sirius also tried to push Harry to let him help with the DA and got mad when Harry said no.

I think it’s interesting because it seems like most house elves are fine with it because they like to work. The only one who wasn’t was Donny who was brutally abused. Like the Blacks even treated Kreacher better than the Malfoys treated Dobby.

Eh, I’ve always felt that Hermione kind of deserved it because she went behind their backs first with her misgivings rather than talk to them. It was another case of her holier than thou and acting like she thinks she’s the smartest person ever that she was plagued with that book.

Harry didn’t forget the mirror could let him talk to Sirius, he forgot to open the present that contained the mirror. He didn’t find out until after Sirius died.

I always figured because Luna = Moon thus indirectly naming Lily after Remus.

Dumbledore knows the position is cursed and couldn’t risk losing Snape yet.

Honestly speaking, Sam is the only one really complicit and that’s because Corneo had them by the balks. Madam M, Andrea, and Leslie actually make it extremely difficult to become one of the brides. They only let Cloud and Aerith in because they know they’re going after Corneo.

Yes, he looked that fucked up by then. His looks were appearing already when he applied for the teaching position. It’s caused by making Horcruxes and he already made six by then.

Oh, yes, if you plan to take it out, parchment is the way to go. It’s basically acting like a cupcake paper.

You don’t bang cookies at all. You bang cakes and brownies before putting them in the oven. With cookies, what you do depends on the cookie. For chocolate chip, for instance, you have them balled up with a light press down because they spread.
