OP

[(Anonymous)]

Happy to have amused you?

In that case, I guess a quarter of the (educated and don't get me started on the quality of their education) population of the Wizarding World is inevitably composed of selfish, racist, cutthroat assholes who have no hope of acting otherwise? Sounds pretty dystopic to me.

..."Who they will ultimately become" doesn't work very well for me, because it's potentially a self-fulfilling prophecy. "We know you will be X, so we will teach you to be X!" Surprise! A lot of them turn out to be X.

I'm pretty sure that not all Slytherins are composed of racist assholes. Even the books, as biased as they are, don't imply that.

..."Who they will ultimately become" doesn't work very well for me, because it's potentially a self-fulfilling prophecy. "We know you will be X, so we will teach you to be X!" Surprise! A lot of them turn out to be X.

It's. Magic. What you think it could "potentially" be doesn't really matter compared to what JKR intended.

According to other people in this thread, JKR intended it to be dystopic.

Even the nicest Slytherin we see in the books, Slughorn, is one of those mealy-mouthed racists who goes around saying "I'm not racist! But ... you do magic very well for a non-pureblood!"

The books absolutely do end up implying that all Slytherins are racist, and either outright evil or cowards. It's not what Rowling intended, and she's tried to explain away some of it, but the unfortunate implications do exist by the end of DH.

Guess we're living in a pretty dystopic society already, since a quarter of all the humans I meet are selfish, racist, and cutthroat assholes who have no hope of acting otherwise.

Actually, now that I think about it, I do spend an inordinate amount of time with actors...

that's kind of how it is irl either way.
