I am SO FUCKING SICK of "the Slytherins only looked bad because Harry was biased". It's such a facile, childish way of dismissing narrative intent. Any ways in which Harry's views of Slytherin as a House were inaccurate were dealt with in the books, meaning by the end of the series he realised that being in Slytherin didn't = being evil.

The vast majority of what Harry learned about Slytherins and their behaviour was accurate. He is not an unreliable narrator. When people dismiss his pov because he's "biased", I automatically assume that THEY are biased toward Slytherin (maybe they have a boner for Snape or Draco) and are scrambling to come up with reasons to ignore all the shitty things their favourite characters do.

I'm not completely dismissing his POV. There is a difference between "a bias was present and that's why he probably didn't notice the decent Slytherins as much" and "he was totally biased and SLytherin was full of great people."

Yes he learned that. And yes he realized that the world was not split up into Slytherin and Gryffindor, but the existence of of a minor "bias filter" was there.

Nothing is being dismissed, but you can still acknowledge that a person has bias without dismissing them completely. Also notice that i mentioned that the confirmation bias was only a small factor in this. The history of Voldemort and Slytherin is much bigger factor.

and tell me, at what point do I ever try to argue in favor of anyone? I never said anything about Snape OR Draco , and do not deny that they are unpleasant people.
