Day 5 -
why Gryffindor one hundred percent deserved the house cup in 1991 (Harry's first year at Hogwarts)
so, i've seen a lot of people posting memes and stuff about how the house cup was completely rigged and Dumbledore just kind of stole Slytherin's win in Harry's first year. everytime i read a post like that, i get so irritated because Gryffindor really did deserve that win.
basically, we learn from Percy Weasley at the beginning of the book that Slytherin had won the house cup for seven years in a row, which means straight from 1984 - 1990. yeah, that's great and all for Slytherin, but i wondered why that was the case. i mean Slytherins are smart and they don't really get caught causing mischief, but that couldn't be the only reason.
and then i realised. SEVERUS SNAPE was the head of their house. now, i don't care what opinion you have of Snape, but he was completely biased when it came to his classes. he would constantly bully the Gryffindors, and favour the Slytherins, and if he was anything like that in the previous years too (which is very likely) the other houses at Hogwarts didn't stand a chance.
in fact, i don't think i've read a single scene in the books where Snape awards points to any character that's not a Slytherin. so, Slytherin may have been a great house and the students may have been incredibly talented, but that doesn't change the fact that Snape completely favoured them over other houses and this definitely helped them win.
Now, one might argue that Snape NEEDED to favour the Slytherins to make up for the rest of the teachers hating them, but really throughout the course of the series (with the exception of Moody, who was Crouch at the time) i can't recall a single time any teacher has been unfair to the Slytherins.
oh i definitely agree. gryffindor did deserve the cup, but the way dumbledore gave it to them was completely uncalled for. i mean imagine being so happy about winning the house cup and then dumbledore comes from nowhere like "NOPE!"
@Olivia_Montra What I mainly criticize Dumbledore for is the fact that he gave points after the year was over. The Slytherin emblem was already installed, which meant that Dumbledore spoiled the party a bit. Yes, Gryffindor deserves the cup, but not in this way. It's a bit petty and only proves that they stoop almost as low as Slytherin. In any case, this is my own view of things and I hope I haven't offended or upset anyone!
secondly, Dumbledore awarding points to Harry at the end of the book is DEFINITELY DESERVED. i mean, Harry basically saved Hogwarts, if not the whole wizarding world with what he did when he stopped voldemort.
thirdly, i wanted to point out the fact that the points dumbledore gave the trio and neville seems like a lot, but it's really not the case.
i mean, harry, ron, hermione and draco LITERALLY LOSE 50 POINTS EACH for staying out of beds during curfew. to compare, staying out of bed gets the same number of points lost as SAVING the entire school and defeating voldemort again???? like it literally makes no sense. (technically it was 20 points more but that doesn't really make much of a difference)
now, i'm not saying dumbledore letting slytherin think they won then completely pulling the win from them was right. obviously dumbledore was wrong, but that doesn't mean i disagree with the action itself even though the timing could've been better.
i wanna clarify though, this is not me bashing on the slytherins and ranting about why they didn't deserve the house cup. this is just me sharing my opinion on snape's unfair bias towards slytherins and dumbledore's towards gryffindors.

Day 4 -
Harry James Potter
my very officially unofficial love letter
So, this isn't gonna be some random headcanon or anything i came up with or saw somewhere. This is my essay on why Harry deserves so much more than he gets.
The first thing I'd like to point out is that even though the fandom is based on the HARRY POTTER books, Harry himself is quite underrated.
He doesn't get NEARLY as much love as some of the other characters like Hermione, or McGonagal or sometimes even Snape or James.
i always hate posts that go on and on about the sufferings of characters like Hermione or Snape because it seems as though people just forgot that Harry exists.
To sum up, Harry saw his parents get murdered when he was 1, lived with abusive relatives since he was 2, saw the murders of so many of his friends and family that it's honestly surprising he's even sane at this point AND had to deal with publicity while he was doing this. also the same madman who killed with parents is after him, and he faced him 7 TIMES till now and atleast one person died each time.
That is a SHIT TON OF TRAUMA. Rowling just didn't do justice to the amount of PTSD and anxiety Harry would've had even in fifth year. his bursts of anger are taken as somewhat of a joke in the fandom with people constantly whining about how annoying it was.
These people forget that Harry had literally just witnessed the DEATH of his classmate and the REVIVAL of the man who killed his parents. Not to mention the AMOUNT OF TIMES he was subjected to the cruciatus curse in the span of that night.
It annoys him just how easily people brush Harry off as a 'basic hero'. Yes, he is one of those heroes that would die for a stranger in a heartbeat, and yes he is someone who wouldn't kill people as long as its COMPLETELY necessary, but that's not all he is.
Dont forget, this is the same person that the sorting hat thought would do well in Slytherin.
There is a certain cunningness to him and his usage of extreme means to achieve his ends show this.
he used the imperius curse multiple times when they were in Gringotts because he KNEW that there wasn't any other way to achieve what they needed to. He used the sectumsempra spell on draco malfoy simply because it was written 'for enemies'.
he isn't just some stereotypical protagonist.
Also can we just take a moment to comment on just how HOT he is? Like not just dan portraying him, just how he's described in the books with emerald green eyes and messy black hair.
anyways,
Harry is just the sweetest person ever. He may be cunning and brave and chivalrous, but he is still just a soft kind and lgenerally loving person.
another thing, one of my headcanons is that if Harry had a chance to be resorted he would probably do great in HUFFLEPUFF. don't come at me, I just see him as this kind, hard working and immensely helpful person with a heart of gold.
he will forever be my favourite fictional character to ever exist and ya'll can call me basic or a 'good girl' but nothing will change my mind
me: ok so i have exams and wont be updating my story for a while-
also me: *proceeds to write 2 new stories over 3k words and half a new chapter for the previous story* ugh
