Slythrins would be the ones to suck on candy canes until they are really sharp and then stabs the Griffindors with them just to really get in to the Christmas spirit
I work in a coffee shop and there is this guy (he works at pharmasave) who comes in all the time and he looks like a blond Harry Potter. He has (blond) messy hair, the glasses, the beautiful eyes. He is this world’s Harry Potter.
They are both favouritism but one got praise for while another got name-calling.
Favouritism isn’t an issue but who they favour is
If Slughorn favour Ron and ignore Harry and Hermione . He wouldn’t be kind teacher
I’d be amused to see Harry try to argue with Ron over Slughorn favoring him though.
I’ve said this before, but Harry is subjected to wild extremes. Because he gets a lot of shit in life, some people try to make up for it with blatant favoritism, such that it’s no wonder Slughorn currying favor doesn’t register as all that unfair to some readers. But, while it might feel like it’s just balancing the scales, going too far helps to further warp Harry’s (and by extension, the narrative’s) sense of fairness.
Things I might make my horcrux in Voldemort’s shoes, for maximum amusement:
My victims’ coffins, skulls, or gravestones. Let’s see Harry Potter willingly desecrate a grave.
Hogwarts itself, or some piece of it (maybe that’s what’s wrong with the place, it’s someone’s horcrux).
If I can get to it, the Sorting Hat, the Quill of Acceptance (writes down every magical birth in Britain), or Book of Admittance (the record the quill writes in).
A galleon, because it’ll be easy to attribute the negative feelings to intense greed.
Dumbledore: I won’t tell anyone you actually have a heart

Harry during the battle of Hogwarts to the entire school and Voldemort: SEVERUS SNAPE WAS A GOOD MAN WHO LOVED MY MOTHER AND HE WAS ALWAYS ON DUMBLEDORE’S SIDE!
No one tell Harry, but if he ever completes the animagus transformation, he’s going be a parrot. Loud, potentially green, flies, copies exactly what you don’t want him to, beloved anyway.
It’s a pity the cockatoos don’t have much by way of green (and aren’t super red), those crests could resemble Harry’s hair- perhaps a red-and-green macaw or a chattering lory?
A shame, cockatoos fit really well.
A macaw or chattering lory is also a good choice.
I also noticed the Indian Ringneck Parakeets have a marking that could stand in for glasses’ frames.
