Let's talk about the so-called Black Jaime and the whitewashed Snape and Dursleys.

Someone misunderstood that I was in Black James, and here I will clarify, it is not a misunderstanding.

Some people think I'm in the Sadsleys and Snape, and again, to clarify, not baptism.

First of all, James Potter is a good husband, and he is impeccable that he is able to sacrifice his life to protect his wife and children.

But he definitely has nothing to do with the word good guy!

During his time at school, Jaime would casually use evil spells on his classmates because he was unhappy with people, or even just because he was bored.

Sirius's assessment of Jaime after graduation is that 'no more casual spells on people like he used to'.

So the question is, what does it mean to stop being casual?

Hagrid is a good old man, right?

But because Vernon said he would never pay a crazy old man to teach Harry how to do tricks, which Hagrid saw as an insult to Dumbledore, he was angry and sent Dalí a pig's tail - Hagrid's intention was to turn Dalí into a pig, but because the spell failed, he only changed into a pig's tail.

Admittedly, I made up the part where James turned Vernon into a pig.

But why would anyone think that Jaime was more virtuous than Hagrid?

According to Pottermore, Penny and Vernon had a wedding to which James and Lily were invited.

But Penny fears that Lily's presence will overshadow her and refuses to let Lily be her bridesmaid, much to Lily's heartbreak. Vernon didn't speak to Jaime, only whispered that he was the magician type. (pottermore)

This plot shows that at the time of Penny and Vernon's wedding, although the two sides broke up unhappily when they met before, Penny and Lily had a good relationship, at least both parties had the idea of easing the conflict, otherwise they would not have invited Lily to the wedding.

But neither Penny nor Vernon liked Jaime and didn't even talk to him.

Some readers in the comment section thought that Vernon's introduction to others was an insult to James, but the question is, is it also an insult to say that James is a magician? Do they have to proudly announce to their guests that 'James Potter is a great wizard'?

And after that, the relationship between the two sides suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

Penny and her sister have had little contact after this. She and Vernon did not attend Jaime and Lily's wedding. In her last letter to Penny, Lily tells her that their son, Harry, was born on July 31, 1980. But Penny just glanced at it and threw the letter away. However, in a letter to Sirius Black on or about July 31, 1981, Lily mentioned that Penny had given her a vase at Christmas. (pottermore)

Why did the relationship suddenly change so much?

was still trying to ease the conflict before, and suddenly died after the wedding. Doesn't Penny refuse to attend Lily and Jaime's wedding, but instead give her sister a vase at Christmas?

It shows that Penny is no longer targeting Lily, but Jaime!

So something must have happened during this period -

For example, Jaime came to the door and turned Vernon into a pig, and deliberately did not forget it to make them remember this painful experience.

Some people think that this is in black Jaime, yes, this is not the content of the original text, it is indeed black.

But I think this paragraph is very reasonable and very much in line with my impression of James.

As for what you ask Jaime to do this?

There are also many reasons, such as not wanting Lily to have too close a relationship with her incompetent Muggle sister and violating the law of secrecy, so deliberately trying to keep Penny away from Lily, this kind of thing you think Jaime can't do?

You're going to ask Jaime if he's not afraid Lily will know?

Of course he was afraid, but what if he just warned the Dursleys, or cast a spell on them so they couldn't reveal it?

Secondly, on the issue of 'whitewashing' the Dursleys.

First of all, in the original book, the Dursleys' adoption of Harry is clearly described:

But that all changed on November 1, 1981. This morning, when Penny opened the door to put the bottle, she found the baby on the steps of the doorway. The child was her sister's son, Harry Potter. Albus Dumbledore left a letter for Penny, which mentioned that Harry's parents, Lily and James, had been killed, and that the Dursleys would adopt him.

Dumbledore also explained that because Lily had sacrificed her life to protect her son, Harry would be safe from Voldemort and the Death Eaters as long as he lived in a place where her blood could be called home.

Since Penny is Lily's only blood relative still alive, 4 Privet Road is Harry's only shelter. (pottermore)

Some readers said that Harry was adopted to protect the Dursleys themselves, but the original text makes it clear that this was done to protect Harry!

And adopting Harry can bring them endless trouble.

Can't Penny figure this out?

Of course she could understand, but at least the moment she adopted Harry, it was out of love for her sister.

Some people may question this, but if it is not for the love of Lily, then what else can it be?

There is a regret in Penny's heart, that is, she was not born with magical abilities like her sister. From a young age, Penny was both afraid and envious of her sister's abilities. When Lily was allowed to attend Hogwarts, Penny wrote a letter to Professor Dumbledore, begging him to let her go to school of witchcraft and wizardry. Dumbledore declined Petunia's request. After this, Penny began to refer to wizards as "freaks" and Hogwarts as "a school for monsters".

Regardless, Penny never forgot that Harry was her sister's son. Although she was not very happy, she let Harry live in her own home for sixteen years, knowing that Harry would be safe here. (pottermore)

So there is no doubt that the adoption of Harry was Penny out of love for her sister.

As for the Dursleys' mistreatment of Harry, it wasn't to be washed, and I never intended to do so.

And the reason why the Dursleys abused Harry, Pottermore also wrote very clearly-

Because of fear and ignorance.

Upon learning that Lily had died heroically, she felt she had no choice but to adopt Harry and raise him with her precious son, Dudley. She did it reluctantly, so throughout Harry's childhood, she kept punishing him for his choices. Penny never saw Harry as a welcome addition to the family. (pottermore)

Their love for their sister led Penny to adopt Harry, but this would have brought danger to their husband and children, so they never treated Harry as a member of the family, but kept punishing Harry.

It's fear.

Having grown up with witches, Penny is more familiar with magic than Vernon. For example, when she revealed that she had heard "that terrible boy" mention Azkaban to her sister, her family was surprised. However, Penny's knowledge of this area is still limited, and she is not familiar with topics such as Quidditch and Transfiguration.

Another example of her rudimentary understanding of magic is her belief that the way she treats Harry can suppress the "anomalies" in her nephew's body. (pottermore)

Muggles, the Dursleys naively thought that Harry would be able to 'heal' his magical talent if they had to treat Harry badly.

This is ignorance.

Again, this is not washing, and if you think that the above is washing, then the person who washed them is J. K. Rowling, because these are J. Rowling's Written by K. Rowling herself.

Whatever the reason, however, the Dursleys' mistreatment of Harry was a hard fact.

Can't wash a little!

However!

I wrote about Harley, not Harry!!!!

What happened to the Dursleys being nicer to Lily's daughter? Have you eaten your rice?

It's all written about Harley, if you still let the Dursleys abuse her, is it really sick to write like this?

And finally, about Snape.

The reader's contradictions about Snape focus on two main points.

First, did Snape and the marauders beat each other or bullied each other at school?

Second, does Snape really love Lily?

First, I don't want to argue too much.

With just one passage of J· K. Rowling's biography of Lupin is quoted from:

While James and Sirius took pleasure torturing Severus Snape during their Hogwarts years, Remus avoided joining his friends in bullying behaviour. Dumbledore even made Remus prefect, perhaps hoping that he would be able to exert more control over Jaime and Sirius. While this didn't quite work, it was a testament to Remus's strong sense of right and wrong, and he never forgave what his friends did.

See?

J· Bullying stamped by K. Rowling herself!

Lupin, as one of the Marauders, couldn't stand what Sirius and James were doing, so what was there to discuss?

The original article was also posted in the comment section, and I don't want to say anything more to readers who still insist that Snape and James fight each other after reading this.

Just quit.

Second, does Snape have love for Lily?

Stack the armor first, Snape is not a good man! Not a good guy!

But all I can say is that if there really are readers who think that Snape is not love for Lily, you can just quit.

Really, some readers think that they beat each other because they didn't understand the original text.

But only the blind would think that Snape did not love Lily!

First of all, to be clear, Snape and Lily can't get together.

Snape thought that if he joined the Death Eaters and proved himself right, he would sooner or later change Lily's mind, but that would only push Lily further and further away.

Snape informs Voldemort, and the content of the informant is a prophecy he has overheard:

The man who has the ability to defeat the Dark Lord is approaching...... Born in a family that resisted him three times, at the end of July......

When he learned of this prophecy, Snape had no idea who the man was referring to.

It wasn't until Voldemort thought the prophecy was referring to Lily's family that Snape panicked.

He first pleaded with Voldemort to let him take Lily's life.

But even with Voldemort's admission, Snape still felt unsafe.

He went to Dumbledore again and begged him to protect Lily, and if necessary, her husband and children. Dumbledore agreed, but also asked Severus to serve him and make him a spy among the Death Eaters.

In fact, it was because of Snape's request that Voldemort let Lily go in the first place. It was because of this that Lily had the opportunity to protect Harry with her own life and make the spell bounce off when Voldemort tried to kill him.

Knowing full well that after Lily's death, Snape had been protecting Harry in his own way. Even before he died, he begged Harry to look at him, looking at him with those eyes that only looked like Lily's.

J· K Rowling's review:

Perhaps Snape's merit lies in his endless love and devotion to Lily Potter. Lily's friendship is one of the most important things in his life, and he is devastated by the fact that his nemesis is also pursuing her. Of course, Snape's obsession with the Dark Arts and following Voldemort led Lily to break with him. After Lily's death, he was obsessed with it and spent the rest of his life protecting her only son.

So what kind of person would think that Snape's feelings for Lily were not love?

Mo Yan said:

The ugliness of human nature is to find fault with the powerless and powerful and kind, and to find the merits in the powerful and the virtuous.

Of course, this sentence did not apply to Snape, because since he was not powerless and powerless, he was not a good man.

But even if Snape's life is a defense, his love for Lily is the only shining point in his life!

Why should anyone be in a hurry to deny this?

The above ideas are all over the book, and if there are readers who don't like it, they can quit now.
