As a nine year old I thought the Death Eaters were meant to be like the Nazis, but I guess Rowling is so dumb she didn’t make the connection until after she wrote them?

    Ironically Harry is so inert and cares so little about anything besides sports and defending the status quo that the hat was probably right in saying he’d make a good fascist. His only thoughts about endemic slavery are “I wish my nerd friend would stop being so annoying about all the slaves” and in book 2 he is preoccupied, not with the possibility that his ability to talk to snakes is an indicator that he’s made bad decisions/might be doing something wrong, but that people are being rude to him because he appears to be a fascist.
