"We definitely can't let the children sit in on Order meetings! Even though we're talking about things that directly effect their lives! We must shield the children from knowledge of people trying to kill them! What do you mean the children already know???"

[philstar22]

This. She wasn't alone in that, but she was the most demanding about it.

[(Anonymous)]

I can see that side of the argument but I can also understand why Molly might think it was a good idea to keep a bunch of children at arm's length from the activities of a dangerous and violent resistance group

I don't think this one is necessarily, you know, black and white

[philstar22]

I agree with you. But Sirius was Harry's legal guardian. So the problem is not Molly having a different opinion than Sirius. The problem is her expressing her opinion as an order and trying to control Harry and treating Sirius pretty terribly. Molly should have had a private conversation with Sirius. Molly should have laid it out as her opinion. Instead, she was a jerk.

Everyone was being emotional. They're human beings.

I think Molly was wrong about what Harry needed to know and how effective it would be to try to protect him, but I don't think it was unreasonable to look at Sirius Black, near-murderer at 16, current PTSD case recovering very poorly from over a decade of magic depression hell while being constantly triggered by his abusive childhood home and think

"legal guardian or not, this person is not the most stable or emotionally mature, and maybe shouldn't get to make the final decision about how much horror and violence a vulnerable young person in his care should face"

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe. But there’s the whole subplot in OOTP about how keeping Harry ignorant really, really backfires.

[(Anonymous)]

OOTP is also the book where everyone acts like an asshole

[(Anonymous)]

Just because you're letting them sit in on meetings doesn't mean you're sending them off to plant explosives around Malfoy Manor, tho

[(Anonymous)]

Wouldn't put it past Harry tbh

[(Anonymous)]

but we all know damn well he'd do that without sitting in on one single solitary meeting

[(Anonymous)]

well, that's true

when you're right, you're right

[philstar22]

Depends on which Harry we are talking about. In some books he was the rebel, in others he was the rule follower who did what Dumbledore wanted to the letter and didn't really try to think for himself that much.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL, pretty much. And if he got caught, he'd wangst about how it ruined the Quidditch season.
