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.
thank you for reading
