abuse mention, Harry Potter bad 

from pestering my harry potter obsessed little sister, i found out yet another insidious little thing buried inside those books.

During the break between each year, Harry Potter gets sent back to live with the abusive relatives that he was with as a younger child. Obviously the reason this happens is that JK wanted to write more haha funny hijinks with abusers parts, but canonically its justified as there being a protective charm on harry that will run out if he doesnt spend time with his family every year. But thats fucking bullshit. An aunt and uncle that abuse you arent fucking family, family are the people who care about you. Which would be his friends from bougie magic gentrification school.

There's a fanfic where Harry gets adopted that takes that interpretation! Featuring: Harry in a loving family! Sirius X Remus! Zero abuse apologia! Now I need to remember the name
