I mean, how would even he anticipate the Ministry turning against Hogwarts and creating measures to impede any significant means of gaining defense capabilities when Voldemort ultimately returns? | |

Quite apart from which, while I stand by what I said, it's actually really useful from an educator's standpoint to reward all parties who did the "right" thing based on the information available to those parties. It's very worthwhile to say "yes, what Potter and co did had good results and we're rewarding that, but don't forget that the rules are there for good reasons [this claim need not be true] and to uphold them even if it's difficult is also admirable" | |

| Nov 14, 2016 at 11:55 | comment | added | Darael | @R.Skeeter I'm late, here, but it's worth noting that a policy of teaching students to obey the rules absolutely, without thought to whether they are right, is common at pretty much all levels of childhood education. I don't agree but putting "school discipline" above independent moral thought, given context, actually is entirely plausible. | |
