When Jost requested him how his 12 months at Hogwarts had gone, Snape replied, “Not nice. We now have this new child. His identify is Harry Potter, and he is racist as hell.

I majored in African Muggle Research.
“The whole wizarding world is racist,” Snape continued. “There may be A one other black man, Kingsley Shacklebolt, a reputation I assume they took from the Wu-Tang identify generator. Everybody wears these dignified attire. They dressed him like he was promoting cocoa butter incense in a barbershop. When Jost requested, “That is a fairly cool outfit, is not it?” Snape stated, “Yeah, for a Haitian taxi driver.” And why did they need to put “fetter” in his identify? It is loopy, man. Manila? Manila!”
Jost stated: “Nicely, for the primary time ever, I am beginning to suppose JK Rowling could be an issue.”
Snape continued, “The entire wizarding world is screwed. We now have magic, now we have wands that may do every part, and other people in my world nonetheless have slaves.” He rejected Jost’s declare that they’re truly known as “home elves”. “Yeah, some individuals have home elves. I guess you did not know they’ve subject elves too. They did not put that within the e-book, did they, Colin?”
