Here Harry‘s lack of abuse does not favour his actions, or he would (maybe only instinctively , but still) realise, the common tactics of abusive manipulators. Abuse Reward Abuse Reward. This can create strong emotional dependance quickly. If somone hurts you but claims it is for your own good, it most certainly never is (except maybe in a medical setting). Also arguing over hypothetical losses, always assumes future battles, whereas in reality loosing can become a habbit that has to be broken (not in the Victorian sense, but in the—you are worth your own fight against opposition—sense). So this was a really emotional chapter for me, which I did not expect from a Harry is a know it all fanfic. Is this counterproductive? Porbably? What’s your metric?
