Was dumbledor anti Muggle Borns or any kind of blood purist ? Of course not , right ? He was the leader and founder of the order after all , and the main force in opposition to Voldemort , no one sane of mind would say anything else . So how can the man he trusted with protecting the two things he cared most about , his students and his school be any different? Dumbledor may bitch and moan about Snape dangling from Voldemorts arm all he wants but at the very end he is the only one he truly trusted ,and to a level that is kinda insane , kill him and maggle his soul in the process check , become enemy number one of the light while having to work in close quarters with a lot of them , all very powerful people that will at some point try to take his head and giving them help from the shadows , all while some how staying alive ,check , keep working as a spy under Voldemort nose and see friends die , check and keep his mouth shut if Voldemort ever questions him on the wand true owner making sure he can never truly own it ,even if it costs him his life , check again ... I mean , wtf... would he have left such a load of responsibility on someone he wasn't sure had a good heart and deep convictions in line with his ? Hell no ! And the guy had no prophecy linking his fate with Voldemorts or any love for the order (so it seems) , the woman he wanted to save was long dead and her son was probably destined to die too for all he knew ,the light used him and given him nothing in return and Dumbledor still believed he would keep fighting , he had no doubt what so ever in fact ... It isn't just because Snape could do it but the very fact that he would that is important here .

July 16, 2005 Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was first published. The sixth book in the beloved Harry Potter series that features Dumbledoreās shocking death at the hands of potions master Severus Snape. Nine million copies of the book were sold within twenty-four hours of itās release, 1.4 million of those being preordered on Amazon in anticipation. In this book the whole of the Wizarding World acknowledge that Voldemort is once again rising to power, causing mass panic. It gives us an in-depth examination of Voldemortās past as well as focusing more on Draco Malfoy. Itās a book for those who love the more darker edges of the Wizarding World. Plus those who ship Romione and Hinny.
Right now theyāre about Harry Potter, sorry to my followers who dont care about that. With that out of the way, here is a small HC/Character study thing. Basically Iām gonna ramble a bit. Warning now that this will be kinda long.
So my first bit is gonna be about the boy who lived himself, Harry. of course if any of you who are reading this know me you know that I love a sad character. There is Hella angst potential for this boy, he has been through it!!!
-we all know that he was literally raised to die. Like a pig for slaughter. He was kept in an environment where he learned to deal with serious issues himself and not to trust other people. As he got older them more serious information pertaining to him was kept from him. Like, a harmful amount of no information getting through to him. His lack of knowledge even though he is very clearly at the center of things almost got him killed so many times.
He was barely taught to defend himself. It was actively encouraged when he got himself into Deadly situations. He was rewarded and praised for defeating the basilisk, for finding Voldemort near the philosophers stone, and thats only the first two years! He was throwing himself into these situations and no one cared to ask if he was ok. These were trials, and Harry was trying to prove himself. Even situations as small as Quiditch. He almost died multiple times but at least he caught the snitch! At least they won! Good job Harry! All of this to say the adults in his life did him dirty.
now, my take is that he knew. He knew that they were actively keeping important information from him. He knew that they didnāt care about his well being, just cared about whether or not he defeated this years Big Bad. He knew wasnāt adequately prepared for these deadly situations. And he knew that he wasnāt meant to live for very long.
heās not a soldier in a war, he is the weapon. he knows he wonāt make it out of the war. Theyāre expecting him to fight valiantly, to be brave. Brave like a Gryffindor. So he deals with everything that come his way, he handles the threats to his life to the best of his ability, and he keep going. Because at the end of this, he is only what he is expected to do. People will hate home because he gives them what they want to hate. People will care because they expect him to be a certain way, so he gives them that version of himself. People will use him and he will play along because he knows he has no choice in the end.
The boy who lived, the boy who fights, the boy who is destined to die.

the next one is near and dear to my heart, the foil to the BWL, Draco Malfoy.
-this kid also has a lot of angst potential. Rich kid born and destined for evil? The opposition to our protagonist? Emphasized pressure from his parents and his political stature? All of the boxes for an angsty antagonist. I could easily take this kid and turn him into a sad bean. And guess what? That is entirely what iām about to do.
he is a Child. Lets just get that out of the way now. Yes he was petty and rude and downright nasty but he is a child. A child that was brought up to be racist and classist and used to having things a certain way. We can see from who he surround himself with and who his parents choose to keep as company, that heās been in a bit of a bubble. That bubble gets burst at Hogwarts, where calling people mudblood gets him in trouble. He sees a more diverse crowd. people are celebrated for their talent or their dedication, not for just their status. He has been told his whole life that status is everything.
So basically his whole world view is turned upside down, and he lashes out by being a bully to the golden trio, who represent everything his family is supposed to hate. Ron is poor, Harry is meant to defeat Voldemort, Hermione is muggle born. This is what he has been taught and this is what he knows. Heās not necessarily rude to his friends or even very picky with them. They just represent the people heās āsupposedā to hang out with. Crabbe and Goyle are from respectable, good, pure blood families and this is familiar.
Moving on, because I could go on all day- we know he has a heart. When he sees harry at the Manor, he doesnt say anything. At the end he throws harry his wand. obviously despite the hostility toward Harry, he doesnāt wish him dead.
He really is just doing what hes supposed to be doing. Whatās expected of him. He is expected to Hate Harry Potter, he is expected to hate muggles, he is expected to put forth his status as a Malfoy and a pure blood. I donāt think he actually wants to do that, or rather that heās confused about his morals. He doesnāt want to be a death eater, heās clearly too afraid. And he doesnāt want his āenemiesā dead. And at the end of the day he never actually seems to be believing what he spouts bout muggles after he gets used to hogwarts. He says heās above the other students without ever actually doing anything about it.
My thing about all of this is that I think Malfoy and Harry know the way they feel about each other is fabricated. Itās hatred based on expectations. Malfoy is a Slytherin, hes supposed to hate Gryffindors. Harry, regardless of the taunting, always helps Malfoy if needed.
I think itās kind of like an alliance. Their rivalry is expected of them, but itās a school boy rivalry. Itās good to them to have something expected of them that they can pretend is normal. they can pretend itās a house rivalry instead of a old war that they have nothing to do withās. Malfoy is not a Death Eater. He hasnāt killed anyone, I dont think he could. Heās a kid. And he doesnāt deserve to be treated as a war pawn.
definitely toward the end they both kind of become aware of the fact that theyāre really just pawns and that no one actually cares about them more than they care about the outcome of the war. They just continue then because they have to.

Iām tired now, Iāll do more next time. Thanks for reading if you did. Add points if you also have thoughts. Id be super excited to read them.
I do not know if anyone has already said it... but we already know that, in The Half-blood Prince, Dumbledore planned his death, right?Ā Ā
But you have thought this...? all this year, he had the Resurrection Stone in his power, so...Ā Is it possible that he was with Ariana (his sister) all that time?Ā
Seeing a loved one and not being able to really be with her was supposed to make a person want to die (for example, Cadmus Peverell) so... Maybe Dumbledore planned his death with Arianaās helpĀ
And when he finally died, she was there... on the other side... waiting to guide him into the afterlife.Ā Maybe he finally had his conscience clear and could apologize to her...Ā Maybe dying made him happy... was a way to get back to his sister, apologize, love her and rest from the guilt
