This reads more like an over explained thesis paper while insulting the knowledge of actual fans who love this character. The author is condescending, rude, hypocritical, and considering she is a full blown leftist feminazi extremist lunatic narcissist (using modernist lunacy terms like cisgender and bashing Rowling for saying that men should not be in women's bathrooms among other things), the manner in how she wrote this book and the wordings themselves for a so-called 'definitive analysis', I already knew that this author has a fat ego. Rowling may have dug her own grave by making unnecessary additions to some parts of her books and while I did enjoy all 7 books, some more than others, this author has multiple screws loose, which is more than I can say compared to the author of the Harry Potter books. Some Youtubers have made brief but better analysis essay videos that I would argue is better than this.
She makes the dumb conclusion about the boggart that Neville faces as being 'transphobic'. First of all, the fault of the old guard Alphabet community is LATE in fighting against the dumb narcissist logic of the so called trans community, but they are going against the entire community at large at least. Second, the author fails to effectively address in a simple manner of how Snape and his mannerisms not only affect youngsters but also broke a particular rule when it comes to writing a damn paper: LEAVE YOUR DAMN EGO OUT OF THE PAPER.
In this fundamental rule, she failed SPECTACULARLY. I have come across other students online who are so egotistical (young and old alike) and some of the stuff that I've seen written are a mix of both good and bad, but it is when they make it about themselves that they are EXTREMELY INSUFFERABLE.
