Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

"what happened?"

“…It’s kind of like Munchausen syndrome by proxy, but I’m not really sure because I’m not a psychiatrist.”

"'What's that'?"

"Munchausen syndrome is a mental illness in which people harm themselves or pretend to be ill in order to gain sympathy and attention from others.

This is a psychiatric condition also known as confabulation disorder, and Munchausen syndrome by proxy is often seen in parents but can also occur in nurses.

Parents can make otherwise healthy children sick by hurting them or giving them drugs to make them actually sick.

Parents want to be judged on things like 'How well do I take care of my kids? Am I a good parent? '

As Percy said, such people often have a strong desire for self-expression and are extremely narcissistic. They need to gain self-satisfaction through the recognition of people around them.

For Dumbledore, students became his goal. He regarded Hogwarts as his home, and students were like his children, but he did not directly make them sick or injured, but inadvertently led them to the dark.

This explanation may be a bit crude, but the situation is somewhat similar.

He may really treat his students as his own children, but he also sees them as tools to gain social attention and praise without realizing it.

He subconsciously pushed his students into darkness, while sincerely believing that he was saving them.

Although it seems contradictory, if we view it as a manifestation similar to Munchausen syndrome by proxy, it may explain all of this.

There was no doubt that he truly wanted to save his students, and as a result, the wizarding community was completely unaware that Dumbledore was inadvertently pushing his students into darkness.

This is actually a form of child abuse. Every year, new students enter school, just like new scapegoats.

Although it seems that Slytherin students are the main target, in fact many students from other houses have also fallen into the dark.

He used Gryffindor students to fight against those students who had fallen into darkness, and as the leader of Gryffindor, he was praised as the reincarnation of Gryffindor. It was as if the so-called spirit of his ancestors had appeared in him!

He created such an environment by using children, attracted the attention of those around him, and was regarded as a great wizard.

These brainwashed children will become the pillars of the wizarding world in the future and continue to teach their children to believe in Dumbledore.

The solution is to keep the child away from this kind of environment, this situation is usually caused by the family environment during childhood, according to the article, Dumbledore could easily fall into this situation if his father was away because he was in Azkaban and his mother was focusing all her energy on her mentally ill sister.

Therefore, I think it would be good for him and the students to let him step down from the position of principal because he lacks love. If he had a lover, this would probably not have happened... Of course, this is just my speculation."

"According to Ron, if he is really good at guidance, then Tom, who also had an unfortunate childhood, might have been guided very successfully."

"From the way he was guided, maybe he was originally a very pure person. Just like what was written in the article, he might be more pure than us. Not having a reliable family was a huge blow to him. After all, we still had the support of our brothers. If I was alone at the time, I'm not sure I could have persisted."

"It's easier to follow guidance, even though it may not be the right path. In my previous life, I've seen many such people. In fact, there are even more such people. Although they understand in their heads, they still fall... Sometimes, no matter how hard people try, it's useless. I've seen those smart and talented people fall, just because of a small opportunity."

"Indeed, we have been able to hold on until now, perhaps only because we are not alone. I don't know if I can maintain this mental state without Fred. Our parents always want to trap us in their little world, but we are unwilling to obey. I think, if I was born with inferiority complex, maybe I would be guided."

"If you grow up in an orphanage and are hindered from finding a job, with talents nowhere to display, he must be a lonely person... If it were me, I would not be able to stand it."

"Normally, this is the time when Dumbledore should lend a helping hand. He should, as the article says, let him cut off his ties with the pure-blood nobles and absorb him into his own camp. If he does this, Tom might be excited to be his dog, right?"

"But if he does that, Tom will sooner or later surpass him, and the new headmaster 'Dumbledore' will be born."

"Besides, the next generation of pure-blood nobles will adore Tom very much."

"If that's the case, the situation in the wizarding world will be more stable, right? Tom can absorb both light and dark aspects, and the wizarding world may develop better. Tom may combine Muggle science and technology to create amazing magic, and even revive the lost ancient magic. In any case, he is a genius. He walked out of a Muggle orphanage and became a top figure. This is a miracle in itself."

"In that case, wouldn't Dumbledore, who is already old and scumbag, become redundant?"

"Well, would Dumbledore be afraid of that?"

“If a person is not able to accept that his students are better than him, he should not be a teacher.”

"As an educator, if he cannot correctly guide those gifted children, it means that he is not qualified to be an educator, right? Perhaps the moment Tom entered Slytherin, he was regarded as a child with the potential for dark magic."

"Like Ron said just now, maybe Dumbledore accidentally triggered Tom's dark potential, such as randomly placing a few dark magic books in the library. Where is the favorite place for a studious and poor genius to stay? Normally, the teacher's duty is to prevent this from happening, but he unconsciously pushed him."

"Pushing people into darkness and then pretending to try to save them is not just a pretense. As Ron speculated, Dumbledore himself did not realize that he really wanted to save them. Most people look at Dumbledore and worship him as a kind person."

"We cannot deny that he may be seeking that kind of praise. Of course, it is also possible that he is not. But to be honest, Dumbledore's true face is always unclear. This ambiguity makes people praise him without reservation, but once they start to doubt, they will doubt everything. This is exactly the case now."

Well, my younger brothers are really smart, they are worthy of being my younger brothers.

I was thinking about this when Ron continued:

"Once the prophecy exists, those who don't want to be blamed for it will be more likely to obey it. Perhaps that's why Dumbledore wanted to exclude Sirius Black? He has a distinguished family background and outstanding abilities. Perhaps he was afraid that Sirius would threaten his position like Tom did.

In a sense, Sirius is more troublesome than Tom. He may be the kind of person who is unpredictable and always does incredible things unexpectedly. Everyone follows the behavioral framework in the prophecy, but he doesn't care about it and often deviates from the track.

I think he is rich, has a good family background, is talented, and is even handsome. He is an outstanding young master. This type of person is difficult to be boxed in because he himself is the rule. "

"But as written here, Harry's father is also of this type, so Dumbledore may also think that Harry's father is an obstacle to the fulfillment of the prophecy. However, James later had a wife and children, so his behavior is more likely to be restricted."

Based on the evaluations from all parties, the analysis of Sirius's character is generally correct.

James's assessment was similar.

“However, there were a lot of troubles after the headmaster was expelled, and the gamekeeper left.

They were said to have dealt with the colonies of Acromanthus, relocating them to foreign forests or sending them to breeding farms, and the article also mentioned that they had conducted a complete re-inspection of the Forbidden Forest."

Indeed, both the Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts Board of Governors were swamped by the matter.

Potions Professor Snape has offered to resign because he is going to inherit the Prince family's fortune, but the board of directors is trying hard to keep him.

After all, not many people take the initiative to work overtime these days, and it’s so useful!

Although Snape is a mean person, he is qualified as a teacher, so I hope he will never resign.

In fact, as Ron just said, the issue of the low student-teacher ratio should have been raised long ago, and the current situation makes the future even more uncertain.

With less than a month until the start of the new semester, can schools reopen?
