Well it's the duality of things, something most libs don't get. It is why JK is a brilliant author. Snape hated Harry for acting and looking like his dad. He loved him as the son he never had as the last link he had to lily.

The books are particularly brilliant as the second rise of the death eaters easily parallels what is Goin on now:

1. forcing kids to go to school and eliminating home schooling to indoctrinate kids.
2. Umbrige suppressed the learning of defensive/offensive spells so the new generation could not rise up
3. take over of the daily prophet newspaper as a propaganda machine
4. suppression of the rival newspaper the quibbler by kidnapping
5. inquisitions: they basically kidnapped muggle born magic users
6. the assassination of key political figures and successful coup
7. weaponizing the poor/stupid to hunt down people who do not support the new order
8. death eaters are fascists

I could go on. The point is that these books are celebrated by liberals, yet they don't seem smart enough to pick up on the lessons and parallels. Retards.

As for pence being Snape.. I guess we'll see.
