Alla:
I seem to remember that nobody in the position of authority ever
acknowledged that anything that Snape did to Neville was anything
other than normal. Oh Trio was unhappy sure, I am talking about
adults here. I will be more than happy to be wrong here.
I am also specifically not talking about Snape and Harry, I think it
is an abuse as well, but at least it is acknowledged that hating
Lily's son because he is Lily's son is wrong.
No, I am talking about acknowledging that Snape, heck, not even
abuser, that he is abusing his authority towards non Harry students
other than Slytherins.
And to me that is the indication of different values of that
society, which I passionately hate. Those values I mean, but no I do
not remember anybody taking Snape to task for what he did to Neville.
And as I said, the question of Neville's uncle to me is also an
indication that we are talking about very different society, where
throwing the kids out of the window to test their magical power is
okay.
Alla,
