!!Provides Examples Of:

* LoveMakesYouCrazy/LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: Michael Rosier-Henlin. And Henrietta Bulstrode.]]

** EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Played with. There are former Death Eaters on Harry's side as well as Voldemort's.
** LightIsNotGood: Dumbledore exemplifies this as a wizard devoted to the Light... who nevertheless uses questionable means to accomplish his ends.

* BodyHorror: After Voldemort's resurrection, [[spoiler: Harry's left hand]] is cut by Bellatrix and then healed into a stump.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: anyone who dies won't come back. The only time this isn't played straight is with the can on example of Regulus Black, who apparently didn't die in the first place.]]

** Laura Gloryflower is a ''Puellaris'' whose husband died. In order to continue living - as the trade-off for ''Puellaris'' witches' power in the home sphere is that they give up all hope understanding of understanding things outside the home - she convinced herself to treat all the people of the world as her children. She is now head of her blood family - an old, powerful Light pureblood line.

*** Minerva [=McGonagall=] as in canon in regards to her students, described as a lioness and often backed by the Hogwarts Founders.

* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Indigena Yaxley to Lord Voldemort; she follows him out of honour but hates the fact that she has to kill people that she respects.

-->''Not you, too,'' said Harry, switching to silent speech as a Hufflepuff first-year came up the stairs and slipped over to a barn owl on a perch. She kept giving him awed glances. Harry stared out the window and did his best to look like an ordinary tormented hero until she was gone. ''Everybody wants to punish my mother, for some reason.''
''Some reason. This is lots of reasons. How dare she say—''

* TheMenInBlack: The Unspeakables of the Department of Mystery to [[TropesAreTools some extent]]. They possess rare magical artifacts capable of containing Lord-level wizards, amongst other things.

* AltumVidetur: The Apollonis family teaches their children to speak Latin from an early age. Additionally, [[spoiler: at Connor's gravesite, Harry says "Atque in perpetuum, frater, ave atque vale," which translates to "And now forever, brother, hail and farewell."]]

* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler: Regulus is romantically interested in Snape, so he's going to finally get his happy ending, right? '''Oh so wrong'''.]]

* CharacterDevelopment - Several characters, most prominently Draco, Connor and Harry.
* ChildrenAreInnocent - [[PlayingWithATrope played with]]. Lily doesn't exactly believe Harry himself is evil, just his magic [[spoiler: which comes from Voldemort]]. Still, she never gave her son the choice to be good or evil.

* IHaveNoSon: Licius disowns Draco when he choses to join Harry in [[spoiler:rebellion against Ministry after Hawthorn is arrested]]. Over time he comes to regret this decision.

** A more straightfoward example is when [[BadassNormal Calibrid]] [[MuggleBornOfMagees Opalline]] calls out Draco on his childishness and pettyness.

* MercyKill: Done in the sixth book towards [[spoiler:children held under a Life-Web by Voldemort]]

* SlidingScaleOfLibertarianismAndAuthoritarianism: Harry is hard libertarian, being very respectful of other people's free will even when it is detrimental to him (such as unwillingness to use [[{{Telepathy}} Legimency]] on Death Eaters without their consent). Voldmort and [[spoiler:Dumbledore]] are hard authoritarian.

* HolyHandGrenad: The Justice Box, an artifact capable of dishing punishment to wrong-doers or people who try to use it for wicked ends. [[spoiler:Harry uses it to punish Lily when she tries to brainwash him again and turns her into a Muggle, taking away her powers.]]
