** Warrington tried to kill Taylor in a duel to avenge his father, a Death Eater killed during a failed attack on her and Harry, by summoning snakes that had been specifically spelled so that their venom would be resistant to magical healing, only for Taylor to deflect the snakes back at him. The duel might have been cut short early enough to save him, too, if it weren't for the shield he set up to prevent any outside interference.

** Madam Pomfrey has a moment where she implies, apparently unconsciously, that wizard lives are worth more than Muggle lives.

* MoralMyopia: Thomas sees Taylor kill Nigel without any apparent remorse, and takes that as proof that she's demonic rather than human. Meanwhile, both Thomas and Nigel were present for the specific purpose of murdering Taylor, which Thomas considers to be morally praiseworthy. (It makes sense in his head because he thinks [[FantasticRacism only purebloods are really human]].)

* ForWantOfANail: The main nail being the Death Eaters getting the Hogwarts acceptance list and targeting the Muggle-Borns on it ''before'' they get their letters. This leads to Taylor ending up in the Harry Potter world in the body of a murdered Muggle-Born girl, and the rest is history.

* TheShameless: When Taylor hears about the nasty slur "mudblood" for those of nonmagical heritage, rather than be upset by it or ignore it, she starts calling ''herself'' that. Draco Malfoy is thrown far off balance -- especially when she proceeds to imply that she's a crazed killer.
--> '''Taylor:''' Oh, I know what it means. And if anyone else calls me that, they'll likely regret it. But it doesn't bother me all that much. I know what I am, and I'm comfortable with it.
