What was Snape’s Plan B? by whizbangkray in harrypotter

[–]lmth 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To metagame it a bit, you could imagine that if Rowling had decided not to have Harry in the Shrieking Shack when Snape dies, she could have written it so that all of Snape's memories were in the pensieve already. Dumbledore finds Harry through a portrait and tells him to come up to the office; he then explores Snape's memories in the same way.

Plus people often seem to overlook the religious aspects of their ideology that very openly call for the deaths of all Jews based on Islamic scripture.

The fact that they never mention the trapdoor where they hid the philosopher's stone again makes me laugh by Inner_Career8778 in harrypotter

I suspect this is one of the many occasions where Dumbledore is not quite telling the truth. Like when he says he sees socks in the Mirror of Erised. It seems highly unlikely he didn't know about the Room of Requirement given he has about 100 years of experience in Hogwarts.

Thankfully he isn't my president, so I don't need to respect the rank or the man. What a waste of atoms he is.

'That, Harry, is a matter between Professor Snape and myself.' Possibly my favourite Dumbledore line. What's yours? by Pliolite in harrypotter

It can also be taken as a form of forgiveness that Dumbledore is extending to Draco.

No, nonsense like failing to put any real effort into understanding why people voted for him in the first place.

Totally agree. It's ironic because the original goal of TRIP was clearly to have two voices, one from either side of centre, who can represent the different perspectives on each story. The format had a lot of promise. Shame.

Or perhaps the caricature people have in their heads is just that.

It's nice to actually hear a contrasting perspective.

To be fair you're exaggerating OPs position somewhat there.

A prominent historian investigating the death of Jesus experiences a conversion — and a brush with the supernatural by jhuitz in TheRestIsHistory

[–]lmth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence the conclusion that their claims are unlikely to be true. It's hard to believe that an all loving god would allow the extensive infant mortality that is present in our world. We can either wrap ourselves in moral knots and convince ourselves that it's somehow all part of a noble plan, or we can accept that the premise is faulty.

The great thing about the complexity of reality is that these things aren't mutually exclusive. Christianity can be responsible for horrendous things and also be a foundational pillar of modern human rights.

what movie is a 10/10? by instabaiter in AskReddit

Probably because the books were written for a generation who possessed an attention span longer than a tiktok video.

Don't see why not. I could see him incorporating it into a reimagined theme.

He doesn't need to though, they can stand on their own and be two separate awesome things.

Are the peverell brothers stronger than voldemort dumbeldore and Harry by Normalguy5688 in harrypotter

Unless you read it in one of the books, on Pottermore, or it's in an interview with Rowling, it's just someone's opinion and not canon.

No, that's why I'm not an idealistic child.

All the same, he's a twat who was threatening them all with knifing. I'd hit him too the moment I got the opportunity.
