the times my son, harry james potter, was the sass king

there’s no need to call me ‘sir’, professor

it’s just, you can’t break an unbreakable vow. I’d worked that much out  for myself funnily enough.

wow, I wonder what it’d be like to have a difficult life 

whatcha fell ova for? I didn’t do it on purpose

the task is two days from now. really? I had no idea 

did you think we’d be staying in five-star hotels? finding a horcrux every other day?

but I am the chosen one

tell them I mean no harm. I’m sorry, professor. but I must not tell lies.

listening to the news! again? well, it changes every day, you see

yeah, you can have a word. good-bye

I know what day it is. well done. so you’ve finally learned the days of the week

just do what I did, harry! what, drop my wand?

an interview? what do you mean? I mean a reporter asked me questions and I answered them

It’s time you learned some respect! It’s time you earned it.

they stuff people’s heads down toilet the first day at Stonewall. Want to come upstairs and practice? no, thanks. The poor toilet’s never had anything as horrible as your head down it — it might be sick

Sure you can manage that broom, Potter?… Shame it doesn’t come with a parachute — in case you get too near a dementor. Pity you can’t attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy. then it could catch the Snitch for you.

Something that annoys me a bit about how people look at the mauraders especially in connection to Snape, is the classist element in it. Now, JKR comes from a society where classism is still very ingratiated in the social tissue.

Snape obviously comes from a working class background which is proven by the place he grew up in. James and Sirius - although Sirius rebelled against his family and left - were essentially very privileged and rich boys. James left a huge inheritance to Harry. So, the question of privilege is very important here and it’s not discussed often enough. James was all-around since birth a much more privileged person than Snape. So his bullying should also be placed in that context. I think this actually gives a new dimension to it as it cannot just be reduced to a question of antipathy. Snape and James weren’t equal in any way not just personality-wise but in a very deep social way - especially if we consider that we’re talking about 60-70s Britain. And of course, they would both be very aware of this as Malfoy was aware that Ron was poor because of the clothes he wore.

John: So you take it out on the wall. Sherlock: Ah, the wall had it coming.
