>a good Slytherin that wasn't a cuck like Snape

This just made me realize something.
The central feature of House Slytherin is extreme individualism and loyalty to a small circle of close ones.
Snape demonstrates the pathological side of Slytherins even when they don't become magic Nazis: even after joining the "good guys", he dedicates the rest of his life not to himself, or to other people in general, or to higher ideals, but to obsessing over one dead person. That's interesting to think about.

I think this about cements my opinion on Harry Potter. It may not be canon-tier, but to inspire such detailed analyses (even by people who seem to absolutely hate it ITT!) so many years later, it must have done something right. I don't think you can achieve that through sheer pandering and marketing.

So yeah. Harry Potter is good. Don't @ me.
