But he isn't full of muggle prejudices then either. He doesn't like Petunia that's hardly proof he feels the same about all muggles.

NAYRT

His pureblood peers generally are full of muggle prejudices, so regardless of his real feelings he would try to draw less attention to his muggle connections.

right? like... who would like petunia lbr here

She's more sympathetic than Snape, besides, she actually supported Harry in the end. The whole "I lost a sister" thing.

how is she more sympathetic than Snape??? Snape bullies Neville, yes. He's a dick, yes. Petunia abused, starved, and kept a child in a CLOSET for YEARS because she was ashamed of that sister she lost. So her one moment with one sentence is enough to absolve that but Snape dying isn't enough for him?

Remember that part later in the chapter where Lily asks Snape if she'll do well at Hogwarts even though she's muggle-born and he has to think about it before he says yes? If Snape's the only wizard Lily has ever met, and he has no muggle prejudices, then why would she even think that having two muggle parents, instead of just one like Snape, might mean she'd do poorly at Hogwarts?

And also there's the part where Snape's got to debate it with himself before he can reassure her.

It seems natural for Muggles to be nervous about how they'll do at a magical school full of witches and wizards. In fact, isn't Harry himself nervous about that? And aren't other Muggleborns?

Not especially? Or at least, not more than most of the other kids who are nervous about starting a new school? The general sentiment in the beginning of the first book among the Muggleborns is more along the lines of "how cool is this?" The wizard born kids are the ones who bring up the idea the whole magical bloodlines thing, because the Muggleborn kids have no idea that's even a thing. Also, Harry's parents were both magical, so his doubts wouldn't have anything to do with blood purity anyway.

I swear to God Harry has a conversation on the Hogwarts Express where he tells Ron he's nervous about how everyone else at Hogwarts will already know everything because they come from wizard families
