→‎Greater Picture: we don't know that Squibs are encouraged to turn Muggle; and Connections
Dòng 56:
This conceit will be furthered mirrored later by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]], who, smugly believing only he knows about the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Room of Requirement|Room of Requirement]] at Hogwarts, uses it to hide a Horcrux. Dobby, however, will suggest to Harry (in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 18|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']]) that he use this room for his secret [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Dumbledore's Army|Dumbledore's Army]] meetings, which he does. Dobby gives the impression that this room is well-known to the other Hogwarts [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/House Elf|House-elves]].
 
While Mr. Filch seems consumed with bitterness over being a Squib, not all such non-magical persons are so resentful; presumably some even marry witches or wizards and can produce magical offspring, just as a Muggle married to a magical spouse can. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arabella Figg|Mrs. Figg]], Harry's neighbor, is also a Squib who, unbeknown to Harry just yet, has been helping to guard him since his arrival at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Privet Drive]]. It will be learned much later that she also belongs to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Order of the Phoenix|Order of the Phoenix]], a secret organization dedicated to fighting Voldemort. WhileIt is uncertain whether Squibs are often encouraged to integrate themselves into Muggle society, as the only two we see are Filch and Mrs. Figg, both of whom have presumably been kept in the Wizarding world by direct or indirect action of Professor Dumbledore. Mrs. Figg has apparently adjusted to her non-magical status and is useful to Dumbledore. She, apparently ekeseking out a living in the Wizarding world by breeding her unusual cats, which may be [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Kneazle|Kneazles]] or cat-Kneazle crossbreeds, that she presumably sells to wizards. Hermione's cat, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Crookshanks|Crookshanks]], that she purchases in the next book, is likely such a creature, and plays an important role in that book.
 
Filch's character also highlights another recurring theme: how easily innocent and vulnerable people (and non-humans) are accused of and punished for crimes they never committed. Here, Filch, in a rush to judgment and already biased against Harry (and most students), claims that Harry petrified his cat, Mrs. Norris, even though there is no evidence other than Harry's early arrival on the scene. Fortunately, the Hogwarts faculty dismiss Filch's unfounded accusations. However, later in the series, Harry will again find himself implicated in various incidents based on faulty evidence, or accusations that he is an attention-seeking liar, by an indifferent and complacent [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]]. This injustice later extends to other characters, who, betrayed or manipulated, are disbelieved and/or punished for crimes they never committed. Harry continually finds himself confronting a legal system that seems bent on obtaining image-enhancing results rather than uncovering inconvenient truths. He will also learn that individuals who wield power and wealth are usually considered more credible than their everyday counterparts, often enabling them to influence events to their advantage. Readers can also see that merely making an accusation can often bias others into accepting it as fact, as when students almost immediately begin forming opinions regarding Harry as the Heir of Slytherin.
 
=== Connections ===
* In this chapter we learn of the existence of Polyjuice Potion. This potion will be used again, by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Barty Crouch Jr.|Barty Crouch]], in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire|''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']]. It will also be used repeatedly in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], by members of the Order of the Phoenix, and by the Trio.
