Okay but can we talk about McGonagall not only made special arrangements for harry to be seeker (listen she didn’t ask Dumbledore she told him and he shrugged and was like ur my fav do what you want) but then she did exactly what she wanted which was to drop a small fricking fortune to buy harry THE COOLEST BESTEST FASTEST BROOMSTICK available
She also entrusted Hermione with a time turner in her second year…?!!
A TIME TURNER!!
third year, but yes, she did. she went and got the minstry’s approval and personally vouched for the girl.
she also encouraged neville to take a class he didn’t think he could and was gracious about not letting him into her newt class and offered to write home to his gran to assuage his fears?
she made sure the weasleys got to dumbledore’s office so they could gtfo the castle safely when mr weasley got attacked
she went to bat for harry when umbridge was being umbridge about harry being an auror
she gave ron and harry sandwiches when they drove the car into the whomping willow
she was strict but she also looked out for her kids
To me, Minerva McGonagall is the archetype of strict but just and fair. You absolutely know that she cares and will not punish for kicks or by whim. Who will go out for a limb for you when you need it and be graceful and matter of fact about it. Who will also kick your as when you’re an ass and set you straight.
Someone who you can trust like a rock.
