The interesting question is whether it didn’t occur to Eliezer or it didn’t occur to Harry.
I can see it either of them not thinking of it because at this point, Dumbledore is well established as not caring about bullying. It’s pretty clear that Harry would have to start from scratch to convince Dumbledore that bullying is something to oppose.
What I want to know is why Harry didn’t accuse Dumbledore and his staff of not doing enough to prevent bullying. I know I would have.
He came fairly close back in the early chapters. He was going to start a PR campaign on the subject...
Ah. I guess its been too long. Which chapter was this?
This was bullying by Snape, not by students. See here.
