Snape's Deeper Meaning?

Harry blinked, repeating in a questioning tone, "Change strategy? Am I important?"

Wizet explained, "Yes! Perhaps it's because you grew up with your uncle's family that you don't have this feeling."

"Because of different lifestyles... you may still not understand what the ' The Boy Who Lived ' or the ' The Chosen One ' means."

"For you, this was absolutely a painful and desperate experience... but for wizards suffering under Voldemort's tyranny, you represent hope!"

"It was because of your appearance that Voldemort fell from power, and they regained the long-lost peace and returned to a life without fear."

Harry scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I don't think... I've ever thought about this before..."

He actually agreed with what Wizet had said earlier; it was indeed a very desperate experience.

The despair only intensifies when he realizes how good his parents have been to him.

As for the second half of what Wizet said, since he had lived at his uncle's house for a long time and only returned to the magical world in the last two years, he did not have such a strong feeling about it.

With this explanation, he seemed to gradually understand why so many people were willing to surround him and show him kindness when he appeared at the Leaky Cauldron.

This made Harry realize a problem. "But why would Minister Fudge do this?"

"How can I describe it to you?" Wizet murmured. "Do you remember when you and Ron lost fifty points in your first year?"

"Ahem... Of course I remember..." Harry said somewhat awkwardly, noting that there had been quite a few complaints during that time.

Wizet continued, "Later on... at the End-of-Term Feast, Headmaster Dumbledore gave you extra points, right?"

"Yes!" Harry realized. "I think I get it... It's about the Daily Prophet lately, lots of people around are talking about it! He's trying to divert attention, isn't he?"

"That's right..." Wizet nodded, "But as students, we'll be returning to Hogwarts soon. At least for the time being at the school, you won't have to face similar troubles."

"Yes! School starts soon!" Harry was a little excited. For him, this place was already very interesting, but Hogwarts was an even more interesting place.

Apart from...

He suddenly shuddered.

"I still have an assignment to finish! That Snape ..." He glanced at Wizet, "...the professor's pre-class assignment!"

"That paper on the Shrinking Potion," Wizet recalled.

"Yes! I was planning to find some information for reference..." Harry said somewhat embarrassedly, "Wizet, do you have time now? Can I ask you for some advice?"

After saying this, Harry pulled Wizet along to the Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour and found a seat.

Harry has been with Diagon Alley for almost a month now and is quite familiar with Florean Fortescue, the owner of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour;

They had barely sat down when Florean Fortescue came over with a friendly smile and served them two sundaes.

Harry smiled shyly, "Mr. Fukoske is very kind to me. When I do my homework here, he not only helps me, but also brings me sweets..."

He glanced furtively at Florean Fortescue, who was busy at work, and slipped a few Silver Sickle under the sundae cup. "I didn't understand before, but now I do!"

Seeing Harry's actions, Wizet had just taken out a few Silver Sickle when Harry stopped her. "Wizet, I've already put them away! Consider this... a small token of appreciation! Yes! A small token of appreciation!"

"Okay..." Wizet. "Preparing a paper shouldn't be too difficult. Basically, as long as you write down the material clearly and add some explanations, you're done."

"That's what I thought too..." Harry sighed. "I asked Hermione last school year, and she said the same thing to me."

After hearing this, Wizet sensed that things weren't so simple. "Tell me your concerns first!"

Harry picked up a spoon and stirred the sundae as he said, "Ahem... it's just that my pre-study papers always get lower grades than Ron's..."

"But our content is actually quite similar... I asked Hermione about this, and even had her look at our papers. She also thought they were about the same..."

"Perhaps it's because the professors..." Wizet guessed, "Have higher expectations of you?"

"Is it because of my identity?" Harry realized. "That's acceptable... but what should I do?"

"I don't want to get a 'T' again! You have no idea how awful Snape! He actually... he actually read my paper aloud!"

"I was revising and reading it aloud at the same time! And those Slytherin just kept laughing! Later, when I got my paper back and looked at it, it was all sarcastic!"

"May I see it?" Wizet asked curiously, "If you have it with you..."

"I left it at Hogwarts, and there wasn't much useful stuff there..." Harry shook his head as he recalled, "It was usually something like, ' Mr. Potter doesn't seem to understand anything.'"

"It's all sorts of feelings, like I'm not right here, not right there... Anyway, after Hermione saw it, she also felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why."

"I have a feeling..." Wizet murmured, trying to find some clues. "Do you have a completed paper? Would you mind letting me take a look?"

"I wrote a first draft..." Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, "It might not have been put away properly..."

The main ingredients of the Shrinking Solution include Daisy Root, Fig Peel, caterpillars, Leech Juice, and Rat Spleen...

Wizet carefully examined Harry's draft, trying to compare it with her own pre-reading paper to evaluate Harry's work.

Perhaps because it was only a first draft, Harry's writing was brief, but it was by no means careless, and there was no "this is bad" or "that is not good" situation;

Overall, it's a decent preparatory paper. It's clear that even though Harry doesn't like Potions Class, he still completes his assignments diligently.

Wizet double-checked, "Professor Snape usually gives you... a 'T'?"

"Yes!" Harry sighed, looking up at the sky. "I'm used to it!"

"Then let's look for some deeper reasons..." Wizet tried to analyze Snape's reasons from his own perspective, "For example, Professor Snape ... has higher expectations of you!"

Harry's expression was strange. "He... has higher expectations of me?"

"Wait a minute... I need to think about this..." Wizet took out her wand, pressed the tip against her temple, and slowly closed her eyes.

After a short while, he put down his wand, opened his eyes, and smiled, "I think I understand now..."
