a_svirn:
Actually, she does not seem to recognize it. Or rather, she does not 
acknowledge it. She still insists that slavery is a bad thing, that 
Hermione was right back in her fourth year when she tried to change 
things, and that the HP books are about morality and tolerance. But the 
only thing they teach to tolerate is inequality in its most extreme 
forms.
