It’s wild how like… JKR is so skilled at so many aspects of writing, especially in little character moments, but when it comes to implications of throwaway lines she just… not a SINGLE thought.
Like in Chamber of Secrets, when Harry is talking to Tom / Voldemort and is like, you Framed Hagrid, Tom is like, yeah he was always trying to raise monsters,
he says that Hagrid tried to raise werewolf cubs under his bed like…
oh you mean like, children? like human children?
I always laugh when somebody declares James Potter on the verge of expulsion for his pranks in fic because Malfoy was literally a Death Eater trying to kill the Headmaster and Dumbledore was like “Let’s just see if we can gently guide him away from this” I’m pretty sure the only thing that gets you expelled at Hogwarts is if you have already straight up murdered someone
Tom Riddle: *straight up murdered someone*
Dumbledore: *keeps an annoyingly close eye on*

sure is convenient for dumbledore that flamel and his wife were totally okay with ending their whole immortality thing just cos harry almost let voldemort get his hands on the philosopher’s stone
y’know come to think of it we really only have dumbledore’s word for that
…oh shit
au where sirius black actually treated kreacher well and the end of book five was just everyone standing around like “oh what a wacky misunderstanding! good thing nobody tried to storm the ministry of magic on their own hahaha that would be the worst.”
