Ddore is incredibly out of touch for thinking that private lessons between Harry and Snape could be successful. Snape is a horrible teacher at the best of times - how is he even teaching Harry anything?? He’s just repeatedly using legilimens on him??

Ddore not looking at Harry when Harry tells him about Arthur being attacked is shameful. If he’s paranoid about Voldy spying on him through Harry, why doesn’t HE use occlumency hmmm??

I hope Herm has some good off-page gal pals. Harry and Ron are decent friends but definitely have some limitations lol. The “emotional range of a teaspoon” line is iconic.

LOL at queen McGonagall not assigning homework in the week running up to gryffindor’s match against slytherin

Obviously hermione’s jinx on the DA sign up sheet was genius, but it would have been smarter to not force everyone who showed up to the first meeting to sign it. Only people super committed to its purpose and secrecy should have signed it, and everyone else should’ve been sent on their merry way. No need to have forced Marietta and Zacharias - they ruined the vibe (and ofc Mar went and snitched).

Percy is the literal WORST. Git indeed, Ron.

Dean and Seamus must be the biggest slackers ever for DDore to have picked Ron for prefect. (Obvs it wouldn’t have been Neville…)

Harry is pissed off most of this book but you know what I think it’s totally reasonable. Aside from him being a hormonal teenager, he just witnessed VOLDEMORT’S RESURRECTION and CEDRIC’S MURDER. And DDore has completely abandoned him! Wtaf. On top of that Sirius is so fucking self centered in his moping around that he also is completely emotionally unavailable to poor Harry.
