harry potter was a fundamentally unhappy child and snuck out night after night as an eleven year old to sit in front of a mirror and stare for hours at a mirror that showed him wanted and loved by his family and when dumbledore – who had made him grow up in a deeply abusive household with no self worth!! – found out that he was doing that he was like “it does not do to get caught up in the past” or whatever bullshit like WHO FUCKING CARES THIS IS A CHILD WHOSE ABUSE YOU FACILITATED. have you ever seen an eleven year old? they are so tiny and young. i truly hate dumbledore
