Yup, I agree.

I don't think I appreciated her nearly enough when I read the books as a kid/teen. At that point in time she was just that strict professor who would make you regret everything if you were caught breaking rules. And in that sense she was the opposition to the trio a lot of the time. But as an adult, I appreciate and respect the hell out of her for being probably the most fair, consistent, responsible adult in the books, and for being extremely brave, smart, and savvy.

She's still maybe a little bit stern and rule-focused for my liking, but not to an unreasonable degree, and given all the dangerous shit that goes on at Hogwarts, her strictness is pretty understandable. Like, don't fuck around kids, you'll literally die or spend the rest of the year in the medical ward.

McGonagall rocks. She also reminds me of my high school maths teacher, who was an amazing teacher - pretty strict but very fair, indeed very kind if you were in a difficult situation, and with an extremely dry sense of humour. That bit where Lavendar and Parvati were freaking out about the Grim in Harry's cup and she told him that never mind, if he died she'd let him off his homework was exactly the sort of thing Mrs Duguid would have said. (She'll have retired a long time ago, I really hope she's enjoying a happy retirement, she deserves to!)
