The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

He's grown up with Voldemort software running in the background.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Probably both.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I think it's both, but I guess he... You're right.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I think it's when he has his, as you were saying, his first interaction with Quirrell where he starts having to seduce him to the dark side.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I think it's not until he mentions, oh yeah, I've got this mysterious dark side that he's like, oh, okay, this is a different level of problem on two fronts.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

You won't let me just kill your parents so that you can be free of moral scruples.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And somehow the part of you that I thought would be dominant is like this weird sub part of you that isn't always present.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I like that.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

The other question I had was we've got Quirrell as the little devil on Harry's shoulder and Hermione as the angel.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Where's Dumbledore?

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

No, I know.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Totally.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Maybe my analogy wouldn't leave room for a third shoulder that Dumbledore could sit on.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

But if people did have three shoulders, he'd be on the third one because he's the middle ground, right?

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

He's been to war.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

He knows how bad things can be.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

He knows sometimes you have to do bad things.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

He was ready to let Hermione be eaten by Dementors.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Yeah.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Something Hermione would never let happen to anybody.
