An odd musing about Harry's attitude

First off, one thing I don't understand in English language, is love 
of titles. I don't know how much this has to do with culture, and how 
much the language...

Secondly, what comes to forms of behaviour - rules of etiquette or 
what ever, that's Public Relations in my book. Good Manners is 
supposed to be concern for others...

Difference... Well, Draco is the PR-man from start, and absolutely 
not chivalrous. His form of expressing that 'they don't know our 
ways' is fine, but meaning of it is bigotry. "If you don't know 
anything about us, you should never learn" - to put in another form.

What about Fred&George or other Weasleys? They're constantly 
bickering at each other and laughing. Fred&George help Harry with the 
trunk; Ron warns Harry of Bertie Bott's; They *are* good, spontane 
things that good people do, right?

Crouch Jr - his true, evil nature while pretending to be good man 
with rough exterior - was shown at least 3 times. First, while Moody 
might have turned Draco into ferret and bounced him a time or two, 
Crouch Jr. *kept on* until McGonagall stopped him. Same as with the 
tortured spider, he keeps on until Hermione stops him. It's hard to 
say if Moody would have let Harry off with "you weren't taking the 
egg for a walk just for fun, were you?" as Harry wouldn't even *be* 
there without Crouch Jr's intervening, but I think that Moody would 
have helped Harry off the trap-stair unasked - or at least *offer* to 
do so. And then - he did help Harry against Malfoy, asked after the 
students well-being in these 'keep torture on until stopped' -
situations... so Harry did trust him - trusted, because he *did* do 
something good... noting the little *bad* things was too much for 
Harry to notice and ponder...

As for Snape, Harry doesn't trust him - not because of the things he 
says, but for things Snape neglects to do: Snape doesn't do anything 
to *help* the students when Neville's cauldron melts. And, Snape 
never showed true loyalty to Dumbledore, unlike Harry. (I'm sure 
Hagrid would have, though)..

It's not about form - it's about caring. A person who follows the 
norm but isn't caring... that's statistically most common type of a 
person who's guilty of domestic violence. Not to say that all of that 
type are, but well...

Then there are those who know what's happpening but do nothing 
because getting involved in family life is against the norm...
