What are James Potter's flaws?

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

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.

The thing is for all of James good heart, things are usually never that simple:

Laws of physics are still broken: Attempt to explain away black holes' central singularity falls short, scientist says - Space

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.

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.

When a black man and a white woman have a child, does the child become white? If a white man and a black woman have a child, does the child become black?

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?

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

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

Which bands became massively popular for covering songs rather than recording originals?

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:

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.

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

Am I the bitch for never wanting to talk to my sister again because of something she said while talking back to me?

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 suddenly all those feelings get mixed up in a terrible way, and you are sixteen and just want to get back at them and so to make them pay for real and perceived slights.

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.

My landlord just sold the house I’m renting from her. She included all fixtures, that I bought and installed. Does she have this right?

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

So at least someone is doing something.

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

No one is protesting against his ego, his judgment.

Have you ever really seen aliens or UFOs by yourself? Can you share your experience?

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

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…

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”.

I just cannot wake up early, even if I sleep on time. What should I do?

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

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

Why are men ridiculously delusional in the women they want/approach? I'm not a troll. This is a real question. Why does a fat, pot bellied, unkempt, balding, stupid (ergo poor) man, tell a woman above his league that she isn't hot enough for him?

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

Frustration & Righteousness.

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.

What would happen if the Soviet Union had simply annexed Manchuria after World War 2 or kept it independent as a puppet state allied them and separate from China as China was too weak too oppose it anyway?

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

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

Are there any Indian wife swapping stories?

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?
