let’s get this all cleared up:
-fought wandless against fucking voldemort because he would protect his family if it was the last thing he did, dammit
-joined a fascist and racist club
-called his best friend a slur because he was embarrassed
-clung on to said best friend for showing him kindness
-was the boggart of his thirteen-year old student
-reduced a student to tears for fucking answering a question
-bullied a whole generation of kids for no reason at all
-bullied the son of his old crush and his bully because he reminded him of them
-obsessed over a woman who was kind to him, for the rest of his life
-if voldemort went after the longbottoms, he would have stayed a loyal death eater for the rest of his life
