"The reason people originally came up with this headcanon..."

"Harry Potter could be viewed as an analogy for racism."

Issues with P.O.C. Harry

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The reason people originally made up the headcanon was because 1.)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

Sirius gets his first tattoo when he’s 15. His friends think he’s a little young, but Sirius believes it’s the right time. He gets a small black pawprint on his chest, a place his parents wouldn’t typically see. A few months later, he gets a small lion on his ankle, then simplified wolf, deer and rat tattoos on the inside of his left forearm. A few days after him and Moony start dating (because he’s been in love with him for years, anyway), he gets a moon tattoo on his hip, and it changes depending on the actual phase of the moon at the time. In seventh year, he loses a bet to James, and Prongs makes him get a tattoo of a magic wand pointing at his ass on a butt cheek. Sirius hates this tattoo, but Remus finds it hilarious. He also has many runes tattooed across his body, some near his collarbones, on his wrist or behind his ear. When he gets out of school, he gets a whole sleeve done, depicting the Whomping Willow and a castle: Hogwarts, his real home. After Peter’s betrayal, Sirius scars out the rat on his forearm until it’s disfigured and bleeding. In Azkaban, he carves a heart next to the deer and the wolf, and every day, he checks the moon on his hip, praying for Remus’ safety, wishing to tell him how much he still loves him. He also looks at the lion on his ankle, reminding himself of who he is and where he belongs. The tattoos are part of him.

And McGonagall desperately trying to not smile and look disapproving but she can’t because she loves these boys with all her heart.

There are about forty-five pages where Remus and Sirius are together (that’s in the British copies). During those forty-five pages they look at one another fifteen times. In forty-five pages, Ron and Hermione look at one another nine times and Harry and Hermione look at one another five times - and that’s including quotes like “Harry looked at Ron and Hermione”. If it were just “Harry / Ron looked at Hermione” the numbers would be even smaller. Remus and Sirius look at one another so much it could almost be considered abnormal. I like to call it the “I-Can’t-Take-My-Eyes-Off-You” syndrome. :)
