Wasn't Sirius the first non-Slytherin Black in forever? Where would that put Cedrella Black, later Weasley, wife of Septimus Weasley, (unconfirmed by Rowling, but probably) mother of Arthur, Ronald's grandmother? Other fanfics mention her as Weasley Slytherin as well to Ron, even if she was a Slytherin first and then a Weasley. So she could have repented from her earlier life as a dark lady... *eye roll*

In the story "Watch" by Rorschach's Blot in the crossover epilogue Harry Potter/Mass Effect they use a pair of vanishing cabinets offensively. Aim at the target with one of them, and shoot the other with the open door into a neutron star.
I wonder what would happen if the Hogwarts exemplar were thrown into the Black Lake. It could easily be used to flood the place the death eaters come from and drown at least some of them. Couldn't it?

Harry should have been clearer, but Neville is in the wrong here. Harry did not say "I want..." He said, "Dumbledore wants, and since I wasn't there I have to ask you as someone who has experienced it if it's an appropriate idea." Neville could still have had his minute of hatred, but it wouldn't have been directed at Harry, who was just the messenger.

Well, Bones doesn't know it, but Fudge and Umbridge are not two enemies Harry made that day. They had already colluded to murder him, they had been his enemies for many weeks already.

Aah, that's better. In the previous story Lucy was right. He may be a corrupt serial killer and child rapist, but against Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Hagrid he was right. Only, I hate Lucy even more than the other three, and it's nice to see that he gets his in this story.
And those 15,000 Galleons extra for Filch were a fantastic investment.

Wow, what a conundrum. Is casting the Imperius on an animagus legal if they're in their animal form? I could see legions of lawyers ripping each other apart to find an answer.

"Later that night Dumbledore cast the Killing Curse at Hagrid for riling up the Dursleys, and at himself afterwards for enabling the whole tragedy in the first place with his murderous hubris. Thereby ending the power of the Elder Wand as a side effect." Hah, never! A magical accepting responsibility for their mistakes? Yeah, as if...

Rorschach's Blot had a couple Odd Ideas where Luna is a ruthless killer. Since her "victims" are only bad guys, though, I never had a problem with it. I like proactive and effective Luna!

So, Draco uses all three Unforgivables with an effortlessness of someone who's VERY well acquainted with them, and is released without life in Azkaban? I mean, it's what happened in canon as well, so it's proof that this Wizengamot and canon Wizengamot are equally corrupt. And Unforgivables are unforgivable unless you're a rich pureblood.

I would love to see albus Dumbledore try to get Harry banned from inheriting all things Potter and succeed only find 30 sickles in each vault. (Goblins hate AD and helped Harry move it all to a new vault) and the properties hidden!

I love these short HDDs, but I'm developing a twitch! I gotta Britpick - NO ONE in the UK has called the police "Bobbies" since the 1960s, and even then it was usually greeted with howls of derision.
If not insulting (as one sometimes is), they're known as police officers, or just "the police".
Meantime, back at "Daniel Radcliffe", one of the great disservices I think JKR did fiction was to make the magical so mundane. It ought not to be beyond the skills of a mage to erect privacy wards, and turn #4 into a giant gherkin, or give the house wings and have it fly around the garden. Not to mention, sending someone who isn't Severus in a snit would just mean "Stupefy"/apparate/"How do you like Scotland?" before a shake of the cat's tail.
I really wouldn't mind seeing a smart Wizarding World version of this HDD...

Good short; one comment tho. I think one of the things that plays into this is outside the books, and that's what the culture of education was like in the UK in the 1960s and 1970s (when JKR was at school).
By those standards, Severus Snape isn't remarkable. I met more than one similar teacher, maybe more than five, when I was going through a Grammar School about the size of Hogwarts. On the bright side, Snape doesn't hit his pupils. On the dark side, the teacher whom I still loathe, fifty years on, only used her vicious tongue.
It wasn't that we didn't hate teachers that were bullies, you understand; it was that it was expected, and we knew there was no point complaining.
I do have a lot of sympathy for Snape, obviously, especially BabySnape. He was a Halfblood (or Mudblood) loner in Slytherin, and I suspect surviving that took a lot of time. And then he had to face 4:1 bullying from Gryffindors. When I was bullied, it was knowing that I had a group of friends at my back; I saw what happened to the loners. If Snape had allies who were future Death Eaters, I can understand why.

Honestly Sirius killing Peter is not smart capture him take him to a trusted auror let them fill him whit verita serum there a free godfather. And Hagrid and his loyalty to dumbeldore is disturbing always thought it was kind of disturbing how Dumbledore could decide were Harry would live

i find this chapter compelling could have made a whole story out of the whole concept. reminds me of a story I reads were the muggleborns rebel and start their own guerrilla war against the wizirdaning word because the ministry decides to appease Voldemort by sacrificing the muggleborns

A little nitpick the Cruciatus Curse is not green that’s the killing curse. I think the pain curse is red. And I absolutely love your Harry whit a spine one shots it’s a guilty pleasure of mine. Specially the ones were Harry stands up to Snape or minerva always feels like she never supports him
