Line 21:
*** For that matter, even the background of the Potterverse is full of women in powerful positions; Fudge's predecessor as Minister of Magic was a woman (Millicent Bagnold), and Barty Crouch's successor as Director of Magical Law Enforcement likewise (Amelia Bones). The latter even has a minor role in book 5.
* Inadvertently done in the film adaptations with Narcissa Malfoy, mainly due to the Quidditch Cup (which established her as well-bred yet unpleasant and elitist) being cut. Her first appearance, in Half-Blood Prince, is now entirely sympathetic--that of a terrified mother attempting to keep her only son from getting killed.
* Blaise Zabini fans can maybe be forgiven for this tendency. He was a Slytherin boy in Harry's year who, up until ''Half-Blood Prince'', had only ever been mentioned in passing, making him [[OC Stand-In|prime fodder for fanfic writers]] interested in creating a [[Token Good Teammate|sympathetic Slytherin character]] ''without'' spitting in the face of canon. Then he was given some character development in the series and revealed to be a buddy of Draco Malfoy's and every bit as bigoted and dickish as that association suggests, which some people have rather understandably [[Fanon Discontinuity|chosen to ignore so as to continue imagining him in whatever mold they originally preferred]], and others have tried to justify.
** Not to mention "[https://web.archive.org/web/20121212082130/http://wiki.fandomwank.com/index.php/Our_Dear_Blaise_Is_Shattered_(Black) Ew, he's BLACK! DO NOT WANT!]"
* Salazar Slytherin had a dream... a dream that one day, an adequately racist and motivated student would find the secret underground chamber he built to house a deadly basilisk and use it to mass-murder his Muggle-born classmates. And some fans would have you believe that's just dandy. (This one has actually been done well in some cases -- Slytherin lived at least a thousand years before the series takes place and conceivably could have been the victim of an in-universe [[Historical Villain Upgrade]].)
