I... I don\'t know what to think of this one. The wording is \'\'extremely\'\' [[DraconInLeatherPants biased in favor of Snape]] and [[RonTheDeathEater in derision of Ron and Harry]], so to me it seems that it put Harry and Ron here more to make them look bad than to give them pity. I think it needs to be re-written with less bias.

** Severus Snape. He too often takes out the fact that Harry\\\'s father was a sadistic prick of a bully on Harry; starting from the first time they meet, Snape is extra harsh and demanding of \\\"The Chosen One.\\\" But when you find out just \\\'\\\'why\\\'\\\' he\\\'s such a troubled man, wracked with anger, sadness and guilt, and why the sight of Harry rises in him such passionate anger - not to mention when you see [[spoiler: the types of machinations he\\\'s had to deal with to ensure the defeat of Voldemort, including what was thought to be his MoralEventHorizon in murdering Dumbledore]] - it\\\'s hard not to understand why he\\\'s so bitter and feel sorry for him. It\\\'s also hard not to still want him to grow the fuck up and deal with his issues already.
** Ron Weasley: Woobie because he\\\'s TheUnfavorite (or so he thinks) in his family, his best friend is The Boy Who Lived, and in a family of talented, popular, all-Gryffindor witches and wizards he never comes off as much braver or more talented than Harry (who is, as Snape often [[CassandraTruth rightly]] points out, quite mediocre at magic outside of a few select spells, like \\\'\\\'Expecto Patronum\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'Expelliarmus\\\'\\\'). JerkAss because he\\\'s by far the \\\'\\\'least\\\'\\\' mature of the trio (running away essentially because Horcrux-hunting wasn\\\'t the great camping trip he\\\'d expected in DeathlyHallows, and calling Harry a liar and an attention-seeking \\\"prat\\\" in GobletOfFire), he\\\'s incredibly tantrum-prone, and he\\\'s entirely too jealous for his own good (treating Hermione like shit because [[DisproportionateRetribution he thinks she may have kissed Viktor Krum]], a suspicion which was set off when he caught his little sister snogging her boyfriend).
** Harry is a JerkassWoobie, too. Yes, he\\\'s got a lot of things on his plate, what with being famous because Voldemort killed his parents and couldn\\\'t kill him, he\\\'s TheChosenOne, the wizarding world can\\\'t decide if they support him or think he\\\'s a schizophrenic liar, and by OrderOfThePhoenix his hormones are messing with his head. Those are \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' good excuses for [[KickTheWrongDog yelling at your friends until you\\\'ve reduced them to tears]], deciding an entire House is evil because of two or three people from it, and refusing to acknowledge that, sometimes, your weaknesses might be just that (and not \\\"moral fiber\\\").
** [[WordOfGod J. K. Rowling]] considers Dudley Dursley to be this, as well. When asked what Dudley saw during the dementor attack, she replied that \\\"he saw himself as he really was,\\\" a spoiled bully. She also claims that Vernon and Petunia abused Dudley every bit as badly as they did Harry, by giving him a massive entitlement complex.
