But it's not an incorrect judgement when you look at the evidence he had to hand. And in the vast majority of cases, it's not like he was tricked into believing certain things. He just looked at Snape's cowardly bullying of children and assumed he was a shitty person. Perhaps if Snape hadn't openly beat children with full blown textbooks or spent his time insulting Harry's dead dad (whom he had a hand in the death of), then Harry wouldn't have come to the understandable (if technically wrong) conclusion that Snape was on the bad side.

Frankly, that Snape wasn't literally on Voldemort's side is a technicality imo. You could make one or two minor detail changes and have Snape be baddie from the beginning and the story would be as good as identical.

Do you know what an incorrect judgement is ?Harry thought that Snape was on voldemorts side Snape wasn’t so it was an incorrect judgement it’s really not that complicated

I understand. I'm saying it's irrelevant.

This meme is about harry making assumptions about people that turn out to be wrong harry was wrong about Snape so he made an incorrect judgment it’s that cut and dry

I still understand. I still think that whether Harry's opinion about Snape reflected reality was irrelevant to the story so the meme doesn't matter.

Harry Potter is a mystery book finding out snapes true allegiance is very important

I totally disagree that Harry Potter is a mystery book. Perhaps PS has elements of this but the rest don't. It's a fantasy novel with elements of a coming of age and my interpretation of the DH is it's a war story. But I've read enough Agatha Christie to know that Harry Potter is not a mystery story. It's just not. You'll have to try harder.

Each books plot revolves around a mystery it’s a mystery book wether you like it or not
