Younger!Albus has auburn hair, so he must be pretty cool.
Cue eleventy-bazillion arguments about what colour "auburn" actually is, and some people deciding it's the precise same thing as "red" and starting a whole theory based entirely on this :)
(yes, K2K people, all my awesome theories come to fuck-all too :D)
Also he’s dressed in plum velvet and garish taste in clothing is a sign of being a good person.
I can't help getting the impression that Rowling actually can't co-ordinate colours and thinks "more bright shiny" is a sign of attractiveness in outfits. Not that she tends to look rancid in her own clothes, but she does seem to continually give scary outfits to her very best. Perhaps it's to demonstrate that wearing tasteful gear is a sign that you have no soul. Trinny and Susannah need to go through these books ;)
A magic quill that still manages to create a pretty homogeneous student body and a serving class with funny accents.
Oh come now! They have people of other races, and, and evil people and...all sorts of different types! Muggleborns! How could they get more diversive???
Sadly, I think in his mind he feels like this makes it somehow less manipulative—she chose to get sloshed, she deserved it!
All's fair in love and war, etc. It's okay to be a little underhand if you're doing something for the good of society, ie, to give a clearly psychopathic boy all the resources he needs to start his own cult of personality...wait, what?
some kind of sexual abuse is suggested by hinting at something dreadful happening when the two little children followed Tom into a cave, but if you bring it up the more hysterical fans would probably tell you you were sick.
Although not so sick as you would be to ponder on what happened to Professor Umbridge in the Forbidden Forest, since she was evil and whatever it was was done to her by good people, and therefore can't have been all that bad (and even if it was, she deserved it). Tom Riddle, being evil, is a prime candidate for OMG RAPIST, so some people might well stick up for you there.
There was no trace of the Gaunts in Tom’s face.
This is probably because Harry didn't take care to note Merope's eye colour. I would be prepared to bet a small amount of Monopoly money that he's got his mother's eyes ("Gomez, take those out of his mouth")
Err, in fact the Muggles may have been in general more hip to Tom’s true evil nature had he stayed in that world.
He probably would have killed and eaten a few people, been sentenced to death and either died of hanging, or set fire to the rope with his latent powers :/
Can anyone explain what the man’s thinking here? A simple levitation spell wouldn’t do, he’s got to tempt him with arson?
"I can out-scary you, you little shit, so don't try any funny business with me in the room, hear? Short sharp shock, that's what these little scallies need. Bring back National Service, that's what I say..." Sorry, I think Dumbledore just channelled the Daily Mail letters page there :P
Luckily I’m sure tormenting other students was considered all in good fun even then
Although hurting animals, or even being rude to them, is a sign of clear evil. If they're nice animals, anyway. Or not conveniently shaped like balls. Or not belonging to someone we dislike.
Either Dumbledore’s stopped keeping watch over the alone and friendless by the present day, or else "keeping watch" means "watching kids be alone and friendless without doing anything to interfere."
"I watched the saucepan. I watched it boil. I watched it boil right over!"
