On Harry Potter and the Incredibly Conservative Aristocratic Children's Club

At least Dobby did get something from Harry, which is more than I can say about the woman in San Louis and the Heritage Foundation boon to the insurers bill.

True. This observations are - it seems- based on watching the movies.
Which is the lazy way of trying to be cool and unconventional by kicking someone most people like.

On Harry Potter and the Incredibly Conservative Aristocratic Children's Club

First of all, when you talk about "the reality of Harry Potter", you do know it's a fantasy, right?
Second, it helps to read the books – and know the whole story before making judgments on things such as the reasons Dumbledore "shows favoritism" to Harry – it has a bit to do with him knowing his fate which is not exactly Minister of Magic.
One can simply enjoy this fiction, or endeavor in metaphysical debate on the symbolism (splitting one's soul through evil acts to become immortal, or sucking of the soul by depression creatures). But to debate the social realities in a fantasy, it's akin to the SpongeBob fans discussing the feasibility of draining the bathtub. Under water. While considering taking of baths a valid premise. Under water.
