While Harry Potter can be viewed as a story about good vs. evil, its moral divisions are not absolute. [44] [45] First impressions of characters are often misleading. Harry assumes in the first book that Quirrell is on the side of good because he opposes Snape, who appears to be malicious; in reality, Quirrell is an agent of Voldemort, while Snape is loyal to Dumbledore. This pattern later recurs with Moody and Snape. [44] In Rowling's world, good and evil are choices rather than inherent attributes: second chances and the possibility of redemption are key themes of the series. [46] [47] This is reflected in Harry's self-doubts after learning his connections to Voldemort, such as Parseltongue; [46] and prominently in Snape's characterisation, which has been described as complex and multifaceted. [48] In some scholars' view, while Rowling's narrative appears on the surface to be about Harry, her focus may actually be on Snape's morality and character arc. [49] [50] Corliss, R. (21 July 2000).

Rufus Scrimgeour – Head of the Auror Office who replaces Cornelius Fudge as Minister for Magic. Killed by Death Eaters.The social hierarchy of wizards in Rowling's world has drawn debate among critics. "Purebloods" have two wizard parents; "half-bloods" have one; and "Muggle-born" wizards have magical abilities although neither of their parents is a wizard. [134] Lord Voldemort and his followers believe that blood purity is paramount and that Muggles are subhuman. [135] According to the literary scholar Andrew Blake, Harry Potter rejects blood purity as a basis for social division; [136] Suman Gupta agrees that Voldemort's philosophy represents "absolute evil"; [137] and Nel and Eccleshare agree that advocates of racial or blood-based hierarchies are antagonists. [138] [139] Gupta, following Blake, [140] suggests that the essential superiority of wizards over Muggles – wizards can use magic and Muggles cannot – means that the books cannot coherently reject anti-Muggle prejudice by appealing to equality between wizards and Muggles. Rather, according to Gupta, Harry Potter models a form of tolerance based on the "charity and altruism of those belonging to superior races" towards lesser races. [141]
