Alright, listen up you little fuckers

I *HATE* the whole “but Dumbledore sacrificed himself for the war too!!!” Bullshit as an excuse for why it was supposedly *okay* to send harry off like a pig to the slaughter like no fuck you because first of all- Harry was 17. Dumbledore was well into his hundreds- uhhhh, there’s a fucking difference! Also, Dumbledore didn’t *sacrifice* himself- he was already dying because he did some stupid shit by touching a goddamn horcrux and it was slowly killing him anyway and he just *happened* to work that death into his plans and it just so *happened* to make him look more like a hero (note the sarcasm- that was deliberate). Like, the whole reason Voldemort GAVE the task to draco was that it was supposed to be impossible and he wanted to punish the Malfoys so yeah. Anyway, in conclusion Dumbledore’s dying was a coincidence 15 years *after* he’d already decided that Harry, then a ONE YEAR OLD BOY, must die for the greater good and if you think that was an okay thing for him to do then fuck you.
