What do you think would be taught by a good history professor about the Rise and Fall of Lord Voldemort? Which of the characters from both sides would get a place in the history books?  Briefly, what would be said about them?

Ulterior motive, huh? Please have as many of those as possible, hehe, loved the question.

Okay, quite honestly if we were to look at how WW treated their villains and heroes in the past, the answer seems to be pretty easy to me.

Harry was in the textbooks when he was a baby, yes? So I see no reason why he will not be in the textbooks, only with ten times more praises - saved us all, etc, etc. 

Same thing about Dumbledore, me thinks. WW is always very good to praise people after the fact.


Now Snape definitely should be there because he deserves it, but will he be there? I don't know. I think he will simply because WW will do whatever Harry says.

I don't know, if we were to figure out how truthfully events will be described THAT I have no idea. If supposedly grown up trio and other former pupils of that generation changed the mindset a lot, maybe we will read some true stories, if not, probably variety of Rita's things IMO.

I do wonder, will the students be reading about dear Albus raising their hero for slaugher to save them all? Somehow I am having a hard time imagining it.

And I am really curious if their version of Voldemort's second rise would be much different from the version Hagrid gives to Harry.
