Thanks for catching it. It looks like the result of crosswicking mindlessly, so checking the Related To page might help. The bullets were added by @/TheHandle on the 15th of September; I\'ll send him a PM about what the trope is if that doesn\'t work. In the meantime, pulling the entry:

->[=* Deliberately invoked by Harry in \'\'HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality\'\', in which it is defied, inverted played with, and deconstructed.=]\\\\
[=** Harry himself develops a reputation at Hogwarts for being able to do \'\'anything\'\' with his trademark finger snap, but that comes to bite him in the ass when [[spoiler:Lesath Lestrange, certain that he can do anything, \'\'went on his knees and begged Harry to release his mother Bellatrix Black from Azkaban\'\']]. He makes sure that The Daily Prophet releases absolutely ridiculous rumors about him, \'\'so that no one ever believes what the papers say about him anymore\'\'. He [[spoiler:scares a Dementor in front of the Winzengamot]], and they take it in stride, because he\'s The Boy-Who-Lived and it fits story logic. Well, \'\'most\'\' of them do.=]\\\\
[=** Draco Malfoy \'\'cannot\'\' do a good deed without everyone thinking he is plotting something nefarious.=]\\\\
[=** Dumbledore\'s ObfuscatingInsanity confuses people as to whether he\'s sane pretending to be insane, or insane pretending to be sane pretending to be insane. He may or may not have used ObfuscatingEvil on the Death Eater faction to stop them from taking people\'s families hostage, but now they think Dumbledore isn\'t above stooping to any law. But people still have trouble believing that he\'s set fire to a chicken. Defense Professors have had such a terrible record over the last decades that \'\'any\'\' accusation against them is plausible... which is why the teachers \'\'don\'t\'\' want to hear them, because they don\'t want to have to fire the professors mid-year; this is for the sake of their students\' education.=]
