      Hearing your conversation around Neville made me think of a new what if...What if Harry really died in deathly hallows...could Neville end Voldemort too? He is the other chosen one. I think for this scenerio to play out Voldemort has to take someone elses blood the come back...but what do you think?

    I would argue that the thing McGonagall teaches Harry most is humility and fairness - he sees Snape being blatantly biased in favor of Slytherin and always playing favorites, but McGonagall straight up says "no, I won't be lenient towards you just because you're Harry Potter and in my house". The other thing this does is, in my opinion, show Harry that sometimes you absolutely have to break the rules to do what is right - and when does he first really learn that? When he gets house points for saving Hermione from the troll.

    • @takumi2023

      I disagree with everything here in regards to the tier list. Harry and Ron went to save Hermione due to guilt and being 1st years i doubt theyve learned or was influenced enough by McGonagall to make that concious choice. while i do think McGonagall teaches Harry fairness and humility, it doesn't contribute to the downfall of voldemort. Your argument is more for the best/ most good character type of list.

So technically, they were going back to the common room, just took a slight detour.

      I’d also add that McGonagall was the first person we met who really was trying to look out for Harry- she scoped out the Dursleys, saw they were awful, and begged Dumbledore not to leave him with them. She knew he’d have an awful life with them and wanted better for him. She wanted him to feel loved as he’d lost the two people who had always provided him with it. Goddess Level was the perfect spot, the Carlin Bros should have left her there.

    For Fred and George, I also wanna mention their shield hats, cloaks, and whatnot. Even the ministry of magic saw a need for them. Personally I would put the Twins at an O because they were not only focused on bolstering morale but also providing practical tools. Decoy Detonators, Darkness Powder, Shield Garments, etc. I think Weasley's Wizard Wheezes is the best shop in the entire Wizarding World.

    Another point for Molly and Arthur is that first year Christmas. They hadn't even met Harry yet and sent hiim the same present as their sons.
    Especially if you go with Dumbledore plan theory, the trip to see Charley in Romania was all about having Ron stay at Hogwarts to keep Harry from being alone.

      "Why didn't you take this thing off before you dived?!" Ron screaming that at Harry after he saved him is still one of my favorite lines. He also fought off possession from Voldemort and took back control to stab the locket. Let's also remember, Ron thought of the basilisk, took Hermione to the Chamber of Secrets, remembered the 2 times Harry said open in snake language, mimicked it well enough to open the Chamber, which gave Hermione a chance finish the cup once and for all. So he indirectly helped kill a second hortcrux, too. He deserves to be on the same level as Hermione. That's all.

    • @datboi_gee

      Personally I'd credit Ron for being Harry's window into the Wizarding world. He and his family was the perfect adoptive family to take him under their wing and show him the ins and outs of the world Harry could have so easily been manipulated by. Ron, of course, being the most important of the lot where Harry is concerned. But as for direct impact of the indisputable sort -- the rescue from drowning sticks out in my mind as the most crucial thing Ron had done in the story. Had Ron died in one of the previous books and it all played out exactly as it did, Harry is dead and Voldemort wins.

    While he can succumb to jealosy (as we all can) he a TEENAGER he was only 14 in GOF so of course he can act like a prat. Dumbledore gave him the Deluminator because he knew Ron would always come back to the TRIO
    1) He took out one of the Horcruxes
    2) Figured out the basilisk fang could be use to take out another Horcrux
    3) Left school to help Harry hunt Horcruxes
    4) He beat the chess game in book 1
    5) His Friwndship and loyalty to Harry is the one of the fundamental things that keeps Harry grounded
    6) He was willing to give his life for Harry in book 3 when he thought Sirius was after Harry
    7) In the books he is the pewrson that teaches Harry about the Wizarding World

      8) saved Harry’s life when he was about to be strangled and drowned in the frozen pond while retrieving the sword
      9) helped plan and execute the heist of the horcrux from Gringott’s
      10) participated in the break in of the of the hall of prophecy that broke the prophecy (ensuring Voldemort could never hear the whole thing) and led to the arrest of a ton of death eaters and the public reveal of Voldemort’s return
      11) was crucial in breaking out of the Malfoy’s basement just before Voldemort arrived (yes Dobby was the biggest factor there, but Ron had to help take down Peter and fight their way out against the other baddies)
      I’m sure we’re still missing a ton of things. But like, come on, there is no world in which Ron isn’t an O!!!
      Honestly, anyone who killed a horcrux needs to be an O anyway. They LITERALLY KILLED PART OF VOLDEMORT’S SOUL. How could they possibly contribute more than that?!?!? If Ron deserves O regardless of that and Neville at least E if not O as well, but with the Horcruxes included it is utterly insane to have them anywhere but the top.

    I think that Ginny Weasley shouldn't be compared to Lilly Potter. She should actually be compared to James Potter and Harry should be compared to Lilly.
    Lilly is the person who defeats Voldemort the first time by sacrificing herself. Harry defeats Voldemort by sacrificing himself.
    Harry has a friendship with Luna separate to the group in a similar way the Lilly does with Snape.
    Lilly is Muggle born and Harry grew up in a Muggle family without knowing anything about the wizarding world.
    Both Ginny and James come from the sacred 28 families. They were both golden children of their families. The Weasleys wanted a girl for ages and James Potters parents were really old and didn't think they could have kids. James was spoilt and Ginny was too in comparison to her brother's.
    James was a star quidditch player and basked in the attention. Ginny was by far the best quidditch player, but didn't take Harry's limelight.
    James was nasty to Snape but Ginny protected Luna.
    I'm sure there are other things but these are what I can think of from the top of my head.
    There are some difficulties when looking at the friendship dynamic, but that might be what makes the difference to making Harry's group better and more successful than Lilly's.
    Harry is the main character and leader of the group. He made those around him better. Lilly also made those around her better, but because James was the leader it didn't have the same affect.

Imagine how much faster Voldemort would've been able to act after his return without all the death eaters being imprisoned which we're told is mainly Moodys responsibility.

    Ron is an O for literally so many reasons but a huge one I didn’t really see is that without Ron, Harry would not have had the love and support of the Weasleys, which is critical to the entire story. The Weasleys were Harry’s family in the way no one else was and showed him what love of all kinds was - which had he not been friends with Ron he likely would not have. Also he makes other characters score better because of their association to Ron - like Fred& George would not have given Harry the map if he wasn’t Ron’s best friend. Every Weasley that contributed to defeating Voldemort in the present series did so under the pretence that Harry developed a relationship with them because of Ron.
    Harry may not even have become good friends with Hermione (who is absolutely an O too) if not for Ron and her’s enemies to lovers arc. Yeah he isn’t always there 100% but Ron in the canon story absolutely earns an O for what he actively contributed and on behalf of other characters

    I would put Snape as an O. Specifically because the criteria is his contributions to the defeat of Voldemort. It doesn't matter in that context as much that he isn't a good person and that he may have selfish motives. He puts himself in arguably the most dangerous position in the war; being the double agent sitting alongside Voldemort. He fully convinces Voldemort that he is on that side and Voldemort believes him. He is able to hide details from Voldemort as one of the most skilled at occlumency in the world, something that nearly every other wizard/witch would NOT be able to do. He is willing to let the entire wizarding world believe he betrayed Dumbledore, not letting anyone know that he is literally the key and the ONLY person alive at the end that knows Harry is a horcrux. Voldemort does not get defeated without Snape; he is an O.
    Also need to give a point to Lupin for the spy work he did amongst more underground communities (the other werewolves.)

If she can't willingly sacrifice herself, Harry can't survive to defeat Voldemort. Snape helped Lily, who is an O, on top of everything else he did. He also enabled Dumbledore to survive the cursed ring long enough to teach Harry VITAL information about the Horcruxes. Snape's not a good guy, but he is an O.

      It is true that Sirus didn't actively lead them to the locket or have Kreacher help them. However, we have to ask: "does intent matter?". It's not like Lily Potter planned on the curse backfiring on Voldemort -- she acted the way she did out of love (almost reflexively) and probably couldn't have imagined it would lead to Voldemort's downfall.
      We can either give people credit for only the intended outcomes of their actions or wholistically view their actions / role.

Snape is, outside of Harry and Dumbledore by far the most important character to the downfall of Voldemort. In like every book Snape is essential in the war against Voldemort. From saving Harry's life multiple times, to straight up arming the trio with a weapon that can destroy horcruxes. Not to forget all the background stuff, where Snape is immensely helpful as a spy amongst Voldemort's war. He is absolutely essential to the downfall of Voldemort, which should be an O, it doesn't matter how grey or black he is as a character, since that is irrelevant according to your own criteria.

Snape is downgraded for his motives but Neville almost gets an O for the completely useless (albeit great) moment of standing up to Voldy at the end? Isnt the premise to rank them according to how useful they are in bringing down the dark lord? In that case, teaching Harry Expeliarmus, giving him the vital info at the end and generally being a double agent helping Dumbledore for the entire series should put Snape at O... I cant think of any character more vital than Snape aside from Dumby and Harry, possibly Hermione. Everything Snape does is to fight the dark lord and everything he attempts succeeds and is very important. What happens if Neville doesnt make his speech and stand against Voldemort? Maybe he doesnt get the sword and cant kill Nagini, okay... he's important, but not more than Snape.

    Wish y’all would’ve factored in grimwald place for Sirius in the way that Harry inherited it and how much it helped them in the seventh book; they were able to acquire a horcrux bc of the shelter it provided while they planned a heist. Not to mention it gave them Kreacher who ended up being a pretty good character at the end.

    I LOVE Luna to bits but honestly she should be a tier below Slughorn.
    Edit: I arrived at Hedwig in the video and had to add that this one aswell is ridiculous. You say yourselves that it's about how helpful they are in bringing down Voldemort but Hedwig (even though she means very much to Harry) doesn't help at all. Yes she is good for communication but there are two summers (book 2 and 5) where Harry doesn't really communicate with his friends and it is no setback for him. The ability to send letters to his friends is of no consequence when it comes to taking down Voldemort.
    And Slughorn in general should be much higher on the list. He doesn't do many things but the most important thing he does is holding onto the real memory of what Voldemort asked him and then willingly giving it to Harry, not because he was drunk or bewitched but because Harry convinced him to do the right thing and he chose to do so. Dumbledore said about the faked memory that it was the most important one out of all of them. So this single thing alone should put Slughorn in A-Tier. This memory was NEEDED to bring down Voldemort.

    About Moody - I think he deserves credit for some of what Crouch Jr does as Crouch is forced to act as a conduit for ideas that are really from Moody. The phrase "constant vigilance" comes to mind where even if they never met the real Moody I would consider that phrase as something Moody taught them. His general teaching of paranoia also helps Harry avoid drinking Umbridge's veritaserum laced tea and probably some other things I can't pull off the top of my head.

  • @Leviticus_Prime
    @Leviticus_Prime 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    It could be argued that Snape NEEDS to be abusive as a teacher at least you some degree because there so so many students who are the children of death eaters and he needs to ensure that his fellow death eaters see him in a certain light so that he can remain in good standing with them. If he treated all the non-Slytherin students well, espescially muggle-borns and the children of people who actively fought against Voldemort like Neville and Harry, it would cast doubt on his loyalties.
    It's also imperative that Harry never see him as a good person IMO. Dumbledore likely knows or at least suspects that Harry being a horcrux will cause a connection between Harry and Voldemort, and he never seems to be too harsh with Snape over his blatant dislike of Harry. I think perhaps Dumbledore knows that Snape's public image needs to be a certain way and overlooks it for the sake of the mission.

    • @glynn6739

    ok. I LOVE Hermione and I will also not hear anything to put her out of her well-deserved O, but, I do think there was a more nuanced point about SPEW. Yes, she was correct about the house elves needing help but the way she went about it was completely misguided. Tricking them into getting "liberated" when they actively did not want this is infantilizing in its own way. She did not stop to listen what the house elves were saying - she had her own viewpoint and would not budge from it. I think we see this in other situations like her dynamic with Luna. I understand she was very young and she actually cared which is huge considering literally nobody else did.

    He also does have that line, "Only those of whom I could not save." He says this to Dumbledore, and it goes beyond Lily.
    There is no reason for Severus to save anyone other than Harry if it were truly for Lily and Lily alone.

The sorting hat doesn’t differentiate between good and bad. What I would think would happen is that Draco would grow up being inspired by his father’s “bravery” in fighting for Voldemort, which would inspire him to also be “brave”, landing him in Gryffindor. Otherwise, Draco really doesn’t have any other traits that align him with any of the houses. He’s only put into Slytherin because of heritage.
