Does JK, who was once a single unemployed mother, even realize the offensive shit she`s written here?
Sometimes people who've overcome difficulties end up with compassion for others with the same difficulties...and sometimes, they look down on them. Maybe JKR thinks something along the lines of "Well, *I* managed to live for my child despite poverty and depression, and that has nothing to do with dumb luck and everything to do with my own personal virtue, so I get to condemn anyone who can't do it."
