You are seeing Slytherin house always from the perspective of Death Eaters’ children. They are a small fraction of the total Slytherin population. I’m not saying all the other Slytherins are adorable, but they’re certainly not Draco, they’re certainly not, you know, Crabbe and Goyle. They’re not all like that, that would be too brutal for words, wouldn’t it?

reblogging from the source so no one feels singled out, but ok seriously… every single comment I’ve seen on this post has been like “well fuck you jk rowling you should have made this abundantly clear in at least 50 different ways” and it’s like, HOW many times guys?
REPEAT AFTER ME: JK ROWLING HEAVILY EMPLOYS UNRELIABLE NARRATION AS A MEANS OF PROMPTING READERS TO QUESTION EVEN THE GOOD GUYS’ PREJUDICES. INSTEAD OF GOING “HEY! HEY YOU THERE SIT STILL WHILE I SPOON-FEED YOU THIS IMPORTANT SCENARIO!” SHE LETS HARRY BE A LITTLE PISSCOUCH CRAPWEASEL SOMETIMES EVEN THOUGH HE’S A REALLY GOOD PERSON SO AS TO DEMONSTRATE HOW EASY IT IS TO INTERNALIZE BADBADTOXIC SHIT IF YOU’RE NOT ETERNALLY QUESTIONING YOURSELF.
I know it’s easy to ignore but I have had it about up to merlin’s scrotum with this shit
