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,

counts to five and dissappears
