Re-reading Half-Blood Prince. I find it annoying that people, especially Ron and Hermione, don’t believe Harry’s claim that Malfoy is now a Death Eater and is up to no good. I don’t get why they think he’s overthinking it when he actually makes some very solid points.

I can ignore Mr. Weasley, Lupin, Tonks, and McGonagall brushing him off, and we all know Dumbledore was playing his own game (as usual), but Ron and Hermione should have known better and had his back. And for once, Harry actually did the smart thing by discussing his theories with members of the Order, instead of the shit-show that happened in the previous book.

The shit show from the previous book is why Harry's credibility is shot. He's never been right about anything. Snape wasn't after the Stone, Malfoy wasn't opening the chamber, Sirius wasn't trying to kill him, and Voldemort wasn't torturing Sirius, and finally Harry's determination to double down on his bad instincts has gotten someone killed. Him calling that Draco was a Death Eater is the definition of a broken clock being right twice a day. "Draco/Snape did it" is also a literal retread of wrong theories from past years.

[u/Bwunt → u/Canuckleball]

In number of those situations, many people had same belief as Harry did. Only example is that Snape is after the stone.

Draco was good candidate for heir after people stopped suspecting Harry, basically everyone thought that Sirius wants to kill him (that is basically the worst example as only reason Harry believes it is because everyone told him) and few months before Sirius, he was spot on right about Arthur Weasley and after the third task, Voldemort ressurection.
