Those of you who have read my Fred Weasley x Reader question why the main character gets ignored throughout the story- here is my thought process on that decision.
Y/n is ignored and overshadowed by Harry, testing those around her on how they act. Those who see her as her own individual person are her real friends.
She is supposed to be ignored so she can build and develop relationships with the people that see her as Y/n and not Harry's sister. This helps her find her true family and true friends.
Hope this makes sense to you all. :>
