What are James Potter's flaws?

No one wants to be the prey. And how much do you compromise on your morals to save yourself that humiliation.

And who do you think you are to call people that!

So that’s for me James flaws: his lack of discernment as a teenager, letting his frustration and anger overcome his good heart and falling for the scapegoating trap, where you confuse righteousness with personal pride.

How did Madri, mother of Nakula and Sahadeva die?

And he goes too far, gets a kick out of showing off he is better than his enemy. At this point, the enemy is so loathed and loathsome, he has no empathy for him.

Because you can understand James’ dislike, James whose family is infamously pro muggle, with his grandfather Harry Potter, who stood up to the Minister of Magic during WWI, as he rejected the idea of letting civilians muggle die while watching and not intervening and James himself is 100% following those same ideals.

Why cant school buses ditch kids who are late to the bus at the school? Like on the way home, if a kid is late when all the others arrived to the bus on time, why cant they leave the late kid behind since its not fair to the on time kids to wait?

And most people are cheering on to see those people pay too.

And so, there is the part of James hating the other kid for all those righteous reasons and there is another part of James hating the same kid for all those silly and childish reasons.

And most the students, don’t go after him, because maybe they don’t like what he does precisely, but they are not seeing the adults doing anything effective against the enemies, the ones calling them mudbloods.

Do you enjoy cheating on your spouse? If so, why?

He is also immature, jealous and doesn’t really understand boundaries or rather pushes them and also how to deal with those feelings.

And if you feel entitled to call people that, why wouldn’t they be entitled to kick your ass?

And yes, James Potter’s actions are rooted in frustration against injustice and a feeling of righteousness, after all the people who call muggleborns “mudbloods” and use dark magic are the bad people… shouldn’t they be stopped?

Why do some children hate their parents?

But while I cannot condone what he did, I won’t condemn him for it, because for the better or for the worse, James Potter was one of the enemies of Voldemort and one of the victims of Voldemort, a victim of the war, and he was a perfect example of the imperfect victim, he was an awful ass about it, but boy was he not the bad guy.

And still everyone, rightfully, see him as Quidditch Hero. He can bring joy to everyone, and take their mind off nightmares.

And then your enemies do the worst mistake imaginable : they paint themselves with the evil crowd, the evil side.

I am glad you enjoyed my pictures. Do you have any photos to share?

And it keeps escalating, and no one or nearly no one tells him off.

And he is crushing hard on a girl, who doesn’t seem to reciprocate his feelings and is best friends with his enemy.

“you left your home not knowing if you had find the dark mark above it and your family dead”.

Are Indian girls awesome in bed? Do they taste different than our American girls? Does anyone has experience with both American and Indian girls?

So at least someone is doing something.

Living through a civil war, watching people die around, witnessing how it affects his classmates and his best-friend personally, being adored and respected for his talent. All that created a complex :

well that’s most of bullying issues, their confusion of those two things : fear and respect.

What has been your best sexual experience?

Because you can understand James’ anger, not even the Weasley, the ones called the Blood Traitors for marrying muggles were ousted of the “Sacred 28”, and the underlying insult that it was: that The Potter family was lesser than the other magical family.

No one wants to be called a mudblood: are the Muggleborns suddenly turned into mud golems, beasts with no real human blood and thus undeserving of dignity?

Because James is also a teenager, and he has pride, like most people, he doesn’t like to be insulted or attacked.

Why The Simpsons stopped producing Maude Flanders episodes?

Because you can understand James’ frustration, James who was only loved and adored by his parents, and he had listen to Sirius talk about how his mother keep insulting him “blood traitor, shame of my blood, and so on about Voldemort’s purge and that’s terrifying”.

James Potter had good reasons to not like most of Slytherin house.

And that’s a feeling he learned on the playground of Hogwarts, to be the biggest bully and not be prey, but to be feared and respected…

Of course the teachers keep giving him detentions, many many of them detentions and punishments, but how could the teachers really understand what’s happening on the ground? it’s not like those enemies are attacking them when the teachers are around, no, the enemies are stalking them and trying to harm his friend Remus, who never hurt or bullied anyone and just wants to have a school education, thank you very much.

And you don’t need to be a direct witness to the war to be impacted and traumatized, it’s enough to know of what happened to people around you and it’s more than enough to live in the fear of being next, which all of the characters of the books talked about:

What does success really mean to you? Is it about happiness, money, or something else?

No one is protesting against his ego, his judgment.

Frustration & Righteousness.

Those feelings of frustration are slowly snowballing into something more harmful: scapegoating.
