| Sep 6, 2017 at 17:37 | comment | added | Jay | @Adamant the question was about whether Sirius followed what he preached about "how a man treats his inferiors". According to Dumbledore he treated house-elves with kindness. No one said anything about equality: that contradicts the term "inferiors" | |
| Sep 6, 2017 at 8:19 | comment | added | Adamant | I would point out that there is no contradiction between this and the quote in the question. Sirius may well have been kind to house-elves in general, while nonetheless not viewing them as having the same feelings as humans - as one might be kind to a cat, for example, while not viewing or treating it as an equal. He was still prejudiced. He just wasn't generally a horrible person about it. | |
