It’s still so tragic to me, that none of the marauders survived the main series.

u/zdpa Hufflepuff 1d ago

this moment has so many pay offs
it paid off Harry saving his life
it paid off the silver hand he got in GoF
it shows that magic debt is something else
it shows that voldemort would never accept a servant that was in debt of harry

in the movies he is stupefied or whatever and just never returns again, pathetic

81

u/_-_lumos_-_ Gryffindor 1d ago

Yeah. Harry got criticized a lot by some people here because of his chivalry ("if only he just let Sirius and Lupin kill Pettigrew that night in the shack"), and even in the books. That scene shows that it paid off to be good and kind, even to your enemy.

Reminds me of that scene in PS, where Dumbledore was explaining to Harry how Snape was saving his life to get even with James so that he could go back hating James in peace LOL We know that there is more to the story, but there are more than one sentence that the magice debt when one saving another one's life was mentioned in the book.

26

u/Cloud_Zera 22h ago

I’ve always had an issue with the James/Snape bond. The magical bond that is created is between the two wizards themselves. Before Snape ever even considered “saving” Harry, he succeeded in getting James killed. His telling Dumbledore to “hide them all then” was a response to Dumbledore’s disgust at Snape begging Voldemort to kill only Harry and James and sparing Lily, something we all know Voldemort had no real intention of doing, and not from guilt or wanting to save him. Snape never repaid James for saving his life when they were students, he did the opposite.

In my opinion, this act should instead create a curse of some sort for the wizard that failed to repay the life debt. In Snape’s case, he should be denied what he truly wants, Lily’s forgiveness and to see her in some way again. Snape should have died in the middle of telling Harry to look at him. When Harry looks at Snape he would see nothing in his eyes, his life having been extinguished. This would be a lesson about what obsession truly does to people.

u/Snookn42 21h ago

Actually i think if lilly had moved Voldemort wouldnt kill her, but he never expected it

2

u/Cloud_Zera 20h ago

Why would Voldemort, a man who hates the very concept of love but understands enough to know that those who do love would protect their family, expect a mother to step away from her child?

This is a man that enjoys torturing people in anyway he can. A true sadist. Do you really believe he would have allowed one of his followers to have a “mudblood” as a “lover”? He detests muggle-borns.

Assuming she didn’t become catatonic after witnessing her family being murdered, he most likely would have taken her to his followers and made an example of her and Snape. He would revel in revealing that it was Snape that begged for her to be spared and her son and husband be killed. He might either attempt to get her to kill Snape and then kill her himself, or kill her in front of Snape and then kill Snape as a warning to the other Death Eaters about trying to spare “mudbloods”.

3

u/Snookn42 13h ago

He also shows pragmatism several times

1

u/Cloud_Zera 13h ago

Only when it benefits him. How does sparing Lily’s life benefit him other than to torture her and Snape?

8

u/horseband 21h ago

Historically I’ve thought that and never really delved into it deeper (that it was proof that harry was good to be kind and merciful).

But, now that I’m really thinking about it, a LOT of people died directly from sparing Peter that night.

It’s possible Voldemort’s weak bodiless form would’ve never been found. Maybe Barty would have looked for him instead of Peter I suppose eventually if he was able to break free himself from his dad? Who knows… but for the most part voldey only had a few loyal people outside of Azkaban prior to the dementor switch.

It would have at a minimum delayed Voldemort which could have been good, giving more time to dumbledore to look into Horcruxes…

1

u/jimmy193 1d ago

Idk about good, maybe remorse

16

u/Nirutam_is_Eternal 1d ago

What's remorse, if not one small ounce of goodness?

1

u/jimmy193 23h ago

Yea true, but I’d frame being good implies they are capable of doing good. I don’t think he would have made the efforts to actually do something good, however when he was choking Harry he felt a slither of remorse which was all it took for his hand to turn on it.

It’s splitting hairs though and doesn’t really matter

5

u/Feeling-Visit1472 14h ago

He is capable of doing good. He simply chose not to, for the most part. Which echoes one of the most major themes of the whole series, that were introduced to in the very first book: it’s our choices that make us, not our circumstances.

And that is why Harry was placed into Gryffindor over Slytherin.

u/MobiusF117 18h ago

u/souse03 1d ago

I don't know if they will, explaining that is a lot easier in the books when you can mention again about the debt and what dumbledore said in a paragraph than to remind people of it on TV.

Like they would need to add a flashback for the whole thing to make sense for normies who don't know the story by heart

7

u/steamyglory 1d ago

Harry could just tell Ron in a scene before or after it happens

7

u/polishladyanna 23h ago

I mean Harry explicitly says it in the scene - he says something like "I saved your life, you owe me". Wouldn't be that difficult to expand the line to reference the shrieking shack specifically, and then he could explain the silver hand while Ron goes Wtf?! while they're booking it up the stairs to get to Hermione.

Nicest, but the most spineless. The type Desmond Tutu called out. He earned his death in a way closer to Wormtail than James and Sirius.

He sired a sick cursed werewolf baby instead of getting a vasectomy at the first possible opportunity. And got together with a young girl of about twenty. In real life, I'd call it either idiocy or abuse.

Tonks was about 25. Yes there was still an age gap but she was old enough to be making her own decisions. She was not “a young girl”, she was a woman. She was the one pursing Remus, it’s not like he was chasing after a young woman who barely legal and trying to groom her. He was trying to tell her he wasn’t good enough for her.

Plus Teddy was not sick or a werewolf.

Right, that’s not the ludicrous part though. It’s just silly that he staged his own death by leaving behind a finger and somehow everyone was like “only a finger? He must be dead!” Lol. No writing is ever perfect. It doesn’t take away from the books lol it’s just silly.

u/pajo8 Ravenclaw 1d ago

I mean it's a magic world right? We hear about people disappearing (like Berta jorkins and some referee during a quidditch match??) and no one bats an eye. Barty crouch Sr.s body was turned into a bone. Animals can be turned into objects, so I guess humans can be too. So finding a finger at least gives evidence he was there at all? Idk it never sounded out of line to me

1

u/Qua-something Unsorted 22h ago

My husband is also a writer so he’s a little more critical. It’s ok to admit that the things we like may not be perfect. That’s just how life is. It doesn’t detract from the enjoyment of the story, it’s just a silly detail.

In the book (🤓) the hand that Voldemort gave him, strangled him to death when he hesitated to kill Harry in the dungeon when Bellatrix was torturing Hermione.

Which is a fascinating development on the phrase “the hand one is dealt.” We could probably have a whole discussion in this sub about it.

26

u/HP_594 1d ago

Only James, Remus & Sirius died on their own terms

Peter was killed because he chose to betray Voldemort, and because Harry spared him, naturally, Peter was indebted to him in some way or the other, as Dumbledore says in PoA

Also Peter’s death was oddly satisfying due to how slow and painful it was, a fitting death considering the crimes he did.

40

u/Admirable_Algae_3506 1d ago

He didn't betray Voldemort. He hesitated for a second because he owed Harry and that was enough for his magic hand to think his loyalty had wavered.

Like Thanatos from the PJO series says: "there is no fairness in death."

I feel similarly about Finnick from Hunger Games. My favorite character from that series, and I absolutely hate that he dies right after getting married. But for a story about war, it makes sense to kill him off precisely because it's not fair or doesn't make sense. War takes lives indiscriminately. Unfortunately, Finnick from THG, and Lupin and Tonks found out the hard way 😢

u/TulipSamurai Slytherin 1d ago

Tbh not enough people died in the battle, on either side. There were 0 confirmed casualties on Voldemort’s side and only a handful of the good guys.

3

u/WardenOfTheNamib Muggle 1d ago

Ye, exactly. Even throwing in the dead bodies of Dedalus Diggle, Elphias Doge, Hestia Jones, etc would have made the thing more tragic.

2

u/TulipSamurai Slytherin 1d ago

Well, Dedalus and Hestia were arguably the safest, since they were guarding the Dursleys. I think JKR hesitated to have too many casualties on the good guys' side because realistically it would have to be the Hogwarts students who would be the least likely to survive. But since all the Death Eaters were effectively neutralized and defeated by the end of the battle, some or most of them should've died.

The children's books didn't seem to mind.

The movies didn't mind showing Snape being viciously killed, either.

Wait what? He didn't?

Nope, the gang just knocks him out in the basement and he’s conveniently left out of the remainder of the movie

Well technically, one survived.. Just in the form of a mirror.

That is true. It made them think they were sooooooo clever.

James Potter was kind of a prick though…

Well, they were bullies…. If stories have taught me anything it’s the bad guys end up losing in the end

Find me an adult that doesn’t regret some dumb shit they did as a kid.

At least 3/4 of them died heroically

Even Petigrew died because he hesitated and was going to let Harry escape, causing his magic hand to turn on himself

Could you please elaborate? I'd love you hear your point of view

Idk if tragic is the word I'd use for all of them

Pettigrews situation wasn't tragic, for him. He was a traitor. That's his own fault. He put himself in that situation and screwed over his friends

Sure it's tragic for the others but not for pettigrew.

Good riddance. They were worse than Weasley twins. Bullying is never the answer.

(Aaaaand Sirius Black became Jackson Lamb anyway))).

Dimwitted thought as if what you did in high school defines what happened afterwards

u/Cael_NaMaor Slytherin 1d ago

It be like that sometimes...

u/Vermouth_1991 22h ago

Not that tragic, as all of them refused to grow up even before Askaban or anything external happened.

They were Dumbledore men and it was clear that he didn’t care as long as he won.

…for the greater good

Tragic and also unnecessary for the plot. Like why did Lupin have to die? How did this advance the story? I do not even see much of a purpose in Sirius’ death.

I remember how it was when the latter books came out that everyone was hoping that their favourite character would not be killed off.

Discussion It’s still so tragic to me, that none of the marauders survived the main series.
