That's one thing that I will hand Rowling in that she was surprisingly willing to just let her characters start out as morally repugnant without being flat-out evil and stay that way. Snape for example gets invested in working for the "good guys" because his waifu that he remained unhealthily obsessed with until death was killed by Voldemort and he's only protecting Harry because of her. He doesn't have some grand moral awakening where he chooses to be heroic because it's the right thing to do but because he has next-level oneitis for his childhood crush. Same with Malfoy who doesn't have some grand "I will be a hero now" realisation but is mostly just in it for himself and his loved ones.

Now whether Rowling did that deliberately or it was just accidental writing is debatable but it is there.

Yeah its kind of incongruous how everybody both in and outside the book just accepts Snape as a heroic good guy when its crystal clear he only cares about Lily and relentlessly bullies Harry for no practical reason and to the end never shows a drop of remorse for it. He even spells out in a conversation with Dumbledore. A weaker/less oblivious writer would have included the obligatory neat redemption arc. The only thing we get from Rowling is the pensieve scene which is kind of lowkey hilarious if you put it together. Hey potter, as my second to last act in this world I just want to let you know I too got bullied as a kid so thats why I had to take it out on you when you were even younger kid as a fully grown adult. So we're square.

Snape was a douchebag allround whose simping for Lily even after nearly 2 decades surpassed his douchebaggery and being an evil cunt, being a simp was sort of his superpower to do good things because he never stopped being assmad at Voldy for murdering his crush.

What I would find a funny 'what if' story is how Snape would have behaved if Harry were a girl and looked like Lily, would he have simped?

Question: are trannies mad at the Malfoid memes because JK Rowling or they are claiming that it is a tranny alliance shit or something?

Curious to see how the tranny mind seems to take the sudden resurgence of harry potter meme status.
They’re seething their asses off. They harassed a popular Korean artist off Bluesky for drawing Malfoid, but then she posted them on X and got tons of positive responses, so they seethed about that too.

They're seething about it in general because BlueSky is like a retirement home for ex-Tumblr weirdos, dirtbag leftist burnouts like "kate bush's husband" (nigga is in his 40s and seethes over this sort of thing full-time), etc.

It is quite debatable outside the books, but at least movie Lupin just says they trust him because Dumbledore trusts him. The only one I remember openly saying "I never trusted you!" was Sirius and he told him right to his face that he didn't believe he was reformed.

To be fair, Sirius was absolutely right about Snape being just a bad person. He wasn't in Dumbledore's side in the way the other members of the Order were. He was just following his plan to get rid of Voldemort because he killed Lily. I doubt he minded he murdered many of their friends in the Order in the previous war. And, of course, Sirius didn't know that it was due to him that Voldemort targeted the Potters. Otherwise he would have killed him right there.

On top of it, remember that Snape was a constant bully to Harry because he couldn't get over James being a bully when they were kids. Sirius at least admitted he was a dumb kid, but he and James had a good reason bullying him because he was a weirdo who was into the dark arts long before he officially became a Death Eater.

People keep saying Sirius was as childish as Snape, but most times, it was Snape going after Sirius and Sirius telling him to shut the fuck up. The truth is that he enjoyed bullying the remaining marauders and Harry wherever he had the chance. Remus wasn't participant in bullying him, and he still made him lose his job.

Harriette Potter and the Order to Stay Late After Potions Class.

Lets not go there. The amount of weird fanfic it would spawn by perverts is not to be considered.

On the subject of Malfoy redemption, I've only seen the films but I thought he should have ended up with Hermione. First off, her and Ron is a terrible, terrible pairing. He is shiftless and wants to spend his Saturday afternoons drinking butterbeer and watching the Quidditch. She wants to work diligently on her career at the Ministry of Magic. They have different life standards and there will always be frustration and strife. Would not even think they're each other's type sexually, to be honest. He's more of a sexy barmaid sort of guy and she's more of a high-standards man who takes charge type, by my reading. Intellectual over-achieving girls usually are. So take Ron out the equation. Malfoy? Ambitious, connected, and importantly contrite over his former treatment of her. A post-humbling Malfoy who has lost his entitlement but still has his ambition and breeding, would be a very good pairing for her. And in a literary sense would provide a very visible and meaningful redemption, as well as be a more interesting romantic and emotional journey.

Rowling said that she planned Ron and Hermione to end up together early on but their characters didn't really work out that way as she wrote more, and that she regrets sticking with the original plan and not changing it. She's never said that Hermione should have ended up with Malfoy, but the redeemed villain turning to good at the end, works well. Their relationship would be sparky, but they'd compliment each other.

Never ask a wizard supremacist the mudblood status of his girlfriend.

Honestly with the way the writing in the series goes, you'd think Dramione would be the ORIGINAL plan, rather than Hermione being stuck with simpleton Ron/Ron being stuck with smart nag wife.

Anyway I like to watch theory stuff on Ron being the embodiment of hufflepuff finding and other things so idc if you guys like book Ron better or NOT.
 
That would be the problem then. The films handle Ron horribly. A lot of his best moments and scenes are given to other characters (mainly Hermione).

If the show can do something right, it should be giving Ron his due diligence.
Okay, in the interests of brevity I told a partial truth. I haven't read "the books" but I did read the first four. Which took me an afternoon for the first three, btw. Based on everything up to and including the first third of the fifth book, I do stand by my opinion. Ron whatever good qualities he has, is just fundamentally a different relationship type to Hermione. He will always view her as a nag and she will always view him as a layabout. He wants to be happy and she wants to succeed. He wants to enjoy, she wants to fix. He is more reactive and she is very driven. I attach no moral judgement to either of them and they will have moments of overlap that make them both think it's working. But they each want a different role for the other in a relationship and you can just tell that. Even Rowling agrees with me on this.

Dramione is a horrible portmanteau, but I'm struggling to come up with a different one. I even tried with their family names but that just yields 'Manger'. If we can't come up with a suitable couple name for them, then this is dead in the water.

And if Draco becomes female then that takes a romantic situation between her and Hermione off the table of course. Of course.
