This is still my favorite Remus fanart
Don't get me wrong, when I first heard it, I loved it. But there is one issue.
Harry can't be a POC
The reason people originally made up the headcanon was because 1.) the utter lack of non white people, 2.) the fact that it never specifically states he is light skinned, and 3.) Harry Potter could be viewed as an analogy for racism (with half-bloods and purebloods, etc...)
And that's great, but, if it were an analogy, Harry can only be light skinned.
Why? Because it has been stated that the Potter's were a pureblood family, so, in the analogy, they would be white.
You might be saying, yes, but James married a muggleborn, so Harry is a half-blood.
Okay but Lily had light skin as well. I'm not sure if it specifically says that, but she does have red hair, and I haven't seen a natural red headed POC.
Not being racist, like maybe there is someone out there, but it at least isn't common
So Harry just can't be.
Hermione, on the other hand
100% yes
okay carry on
Okay, well, according to the infamous @lillyyypottah I am 65% puffpuff and 45% snek I am okay with this
Okay so the first time I took the Hogwarts House test, I got Hufflepuff (hence my username)
And I’ll be honest, I was kind of bummed
But right when I start believing in my house and liking it, I retake the test just to see. AND I GOT SLYTHERIN
SO IM THROWN INTO A STATE OF DISARRAY. LIKE WHAT AM I. I DONT KNOW ANYMORE.
So I take the test again. And guess what? I get fucking /Gryffindor/.
So like I know I’m not a Gryffindor. But now I don’t know for sure whether I’m Hufflepuff or Slytherin, because I identify with both.
SOMEONE HELP ME.
@lillyyypottah you ain’t cuttin’ it.
Taylor Swift’s exes should all get together and do a “We are the World” type song about how awful a girlfriend she was.
if you ever say you forgive snape because jk forgave snape please remember that the directors of supernatural think cas doesnt deserve better sometimes writers are a little bit ignorant okay? okay
This bothers me
After March, there will be a whole generation of kids that know Emma Watson as Belle instead of Hermione.

Remus: *turns away from the chalk-board to face his students, having completed the first DADA lesson of the year*
Remus: I have a special lesson planned, and trust me, you’ll want to be prepared. Class dismissed.
*the students buzz with excitement as they get up and begin to exit*
James: *nudges Sirius* Hey, Snivellus has potions next, we’ve gotta hurry.
Sirius: *unresponsive as his eyes drift to the front of the class*
James: *snaps his fingers in front of Sirius’ face* Pads… Pads!
Sirius: *absently* What?
James: What the hell are you staring at–? *follows Sirius’ line of sight*
James: Oh deer. *grin slowly spreads across his face*… Someone’s hot for the new teacher.

Remus: *clears throat* a multiple of three
Sirius: so like 6?
Sirius: MOONY COME BACK HERE
Remus: Okay you need to kiss him like right now
Everyone: 3!
Remus: Don't be like last year. You accidentally kissed James. That was horrible
Everyone: 2!
Remus: Oh god I can't do it. Sirius is probably going to kiss some hot chick and I'll kiss my hand or something
Everyone: 1!
Remus: Nope no kissing Sirius now. I'm going to live alone in a cardboard box.
Everyone: Happy New Year!
