can y’all shut the fuck up about snape when we had LITERALLY THE SWEETEST MAN EVER

Can we talk about how Hagrid is a half-giant and basically the only of his kind at Hogwarts? How his birth was revealed without his consent in a “news” article, causing parents to see him as incompetent and violent? How he took the fall for a crime he didn’t commit because he looked brutish and dumb compared to the golden-child prefect Tom Riddle, who accused him? How this caused him to miss out on the rest of his education and left him to be banned from using magic, the biggest indicator of outsider status in the magical world? How, despite all of this, he’s still genuinely a better person than a kid who got bullied a few times and became obsessive over the girl he didn’t get? How Hagrid’s love of those big, scary monsters isn’t because he’s silly or naive, but because he knows what it’s like to be seen as a monster when it’s not true?

Hagrid is miles more interesting and compelling, but people can’t get past the obsessive, creepy asshole.

I have strong feelings about Rubeus Hagrid.

This is one of the main reasons JK had originally planned to kill Hagrid…but after crying for days and realizing she couldnt…rewrote it.

Hagrid might be Jesus.

Hagrid is seriously the best person and he was more of a father figure to harry then snape, or even dumbledore. He never tried to put harry in dangerous situations, he always supported harry’s decisions and he never treated him like anymore than just a kid and not the chosen one. 

I also have a question. If they knew that tom riddle did it, why couldnt they reverse hagrid’s expulsion? Is that not possible? 

Because the ministry has always been racist. That’s why people like Deloris Umbrage were given promotions when voldemort took over. She wasn’t under any spell, she was just allowed to express her true colours without restrictions.
