    it is indeed - they are antagonists. I’m just saying these themes are part of the built world.

        A big issue is that they still exist in the “happily ever after” situation.

        When the horribly flawed government is now horribly flawed with good dictators, there is still massive racism and slavery that everyone approves of.

        well I could make a (thin) case that it’s part of the world she built and the entire population except for a cohort of a small few children and some odd adults are against it.

        so the world at large is ok with that shite behavior; and judging by how many kids grew up to “be slytherin” we can see they just didn’t grok the actual story.

          Even the kids in the story are mostly fine with it though. It’s good and proper to have slaves, and even the idea of free elves is something to be mocked by everyone.
