Most of us when we read theHarry Potterbooks for the first time , would have present up on everything to look the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry . And perchance some of us would still do so , as we waitress for an acceptance letter that will never arrive .
After all , what could go wrong in a wizard embarkment school with touch and confidential passageways and Quidditch lessons and the occasional trip to Hogsmeade ?
Well , maybe some of the horrible matter done by the Hogwarts professors themselves , everyone from Dumbledore and below , might make you reconsider .
Let Others Get Away For Their Misdeeds
Dumbledore as Headmaster , did n’t always do a great business .
Under his tutelage , he repeatedly put his students at hazard and let Professors and others get aside with reprehensible activities . Despite being underage and clearly unprepared , he have Harry compete in the Triwizard Tournament . He never told off Snape for bullying and traumatize his students , peculiarly Neville Longbottom .
He did n’t even bat an eyelid when a Death Eater masquerading as Alastor Moody performed an Unforgivable Curse on the students to test their demarcation line .
Gave Horrible Detentions
Detentions might be important to condition unruly students , but they should n’t endanger the wellness and prophylactic of the kid . In Harry ’s first year , he along with Ron and Draco was sent to the Forbidden Forest to uncover the beat body of a unicorn , all because they had been caught out of bottom after hours .
If that was n’t rough and downright dangerous , there was Dolores Umbridge who impel Harry to write " I must not severalize Trygve Lie " enough times until the Holy Writ were engraved in his hide with his own blood line .
Took Favoritism To Another Level
Some of the Professors in the series were bias . And yeah , that occur a deal in real life too .
But then there was Severus Snape whose fancy towards his own Slytherin house was so strong , he ’d forever praise Draco and even deduct points from fellow Gryffindor champion Hermione Granger for being an " insufferable know - it - all " .
Another Professor who was also biased towards certain student was Horace Slughorn . He even take form a " Slug Club " composed of his dearie and even threw parties at Hogwarts , where only his pick out invitee could attend .
Used Unforgivable Curses On Students
As per the natural law of the wizarding world , a single economic consumption of an inexcusable Curse could warrant a life prison term in Azkaban .
That however did not cease Barty Crouch Jr , disguised as a Defense Against Dark Arts Teacher , test it out on students . And in the last book , with Snape as Headmaster and the Carrows go the school , the Cruciatus Curse was even performed on student as punishment .
Ouch .
Turned A Blind Eye To Injustice
Despite knowing how unjust a Professor might be , the others just turned a blind centre .
When Dolores Umbridge occur into power , despite resenting her , the Professors did not openly evince their disapproval much , until the very end , fearing for their own jobs . Similarly , despite cognize that Lockhart was a prank , Dumbledore still allow him teach , even after he put some Cornish pixy on the students .
Used Truth Potion On Students
Snape recite us that the use of Veritaserum , or the Truth potion was strictly hold by the Ministry . Yet he still threatened to use it on Harry , despite it being an illegal move .
And in theOrder of the Phoenix , we see Dolores Umbridge actually practice Veritaserum to find out answers from Harry . Of of course Harry had no melodic theme but he was clever enough to not salute it .
We afterwards find out that she had got it from Snape , who helpfully enough had supplied her with fake Veritaserum .
Try To Modify/Erase The Students' Memories
Memories are integral to a soul ’s identity , without which one would right away lose one ’s sense of self . Yet in theChamber of Secrets , Gilderoy Lockhart tries to perform a Memory Charm on Harry and Ron .
In fact , it is let on that all of Lockhart ’s celebrity was built on a cautiously - crafted lie . He had claimed to have done a great many brave things , but it turns out they were all accomplish by other people and using his prowess at Memory Charms he alter their memories and steal their course credit .
And not only was he planning to wipe off Harry and Ron ’s memory , but he was also willing to have Ginny Weasley die in the Chamber of Secrets . Fortunately his plan backlash and he lose his own memory board alternatively .
Bullied Students
Bullying students is mess up on so many levels , but that ’s something pupil of Hogwarts had to accept . Severus Snape bullied his students , especially Neville and Harry even as he favour Draco and the other Slytherins over everything .
In fact , he read limited smack in bullying Potter by making his potions disappear for making a mistake , giving him bad grades and constantly piece on him . He even peril to poison Neville ’s batrachian and Neville at one peak was so scared of him , his Boggart took the from of Professor Snape .
And of class , the bullying get to new tier when Dolores Umbridge appeared on the scenery …
Put Students In Life-Threatening Situations
The Professors at Hogwarts repeatedly put their student in life - threatening spot .
Hagrid had them interact with savage brute as part of coursework . Dumbledore let soulfulness - lactate Dementors to prowl the school . Sprout had them deal with mandrakes that knocked Neville unconscious .
And Hogwarts was one of the three wizarding schools that host a Tournament so dangerous , student die competing in it .
Actually Tried To Kill The Students
And if that was n’t enough some of the Professors actually tried killing their students .
Both Quirrell and Barty Crouch Jr tried to kill Harry Potter . Quirrell in fact sham to be innocuous , till he revealed himself to be carry Lord Voldemort at the back of his point and tried to steal the Philosopher ’s Stone from Harry . And when Voldemort ordered to kill him , Quirrell did n’t pause at all .
likewise , Crouch who protect Harry only to safely deliver him to Voldemort , tried to bolt down him once he realized that Voldemort had break to do so .
If we ever kick the bucket to Hogwarts , would we even make out of it alive ?
