Wait is Dobbi the real hero of Harry Potter?
The house elves yearning for subjugation means that Dobbi is likely seen as a villain
Yeah, I always have a tough time telling if Kreacher was an Uncle Ruckus or if Dobby was a traitor and deviant to his people.
Like, we think of it as Dobby (or any House Elf) being released from slavery, but I wonder if it is more like being a Ronin.
It's supposed to be a commentary on internalized racism and cultural inertia but, because Rowling is a bit of a goof, she made it sound like racial essentialism instead.
Hermione and Dobby are not the weirdos, society is.
Master gave us a ring!
