Harry passes the drawing room in which Mrs. Weasley is attempting to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Riddikulus|banish]] a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Boggart|Boggart]]. She is sobbing, and each time she waves her wand, another family member's image appears—dead. It also appears as a dead Harry. Lupin comes to her rescue. As Harry brushes away another pain in his scar and slips away to bed, he feels quite old and wonders how he could have been upset about who was made a prefect when there are so many more important matters at stake.

 

 

For once, it is Harry, rather than Ron, who copes with jealousy and being in second place after Ron is named a Hogwarts prefect and Harry is not. Dumbledore may have appointed Ron partially to help him develop his own identity, away from Harry's influence and the constant attention surrounding him. Ron has always contented himself to tag along after others, lacking self-confidence due to feeling overshadowed by his accomplished siblings, Hermione's intellect, and Harry's celebrity. Lupin may have been appointed a prefect for similar reasons; we suspect his self-confidence could have been hindered by his lycanthropy. Dumbledore may also have been concerned that other students would feel Harry was being given preferential treatment due to his fame. Harry fails to understand Ron's struggle to discover his own unique talents and abilities. Also, with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]] re-emerging and so many doubting Harry's claims, Dumbledore may simply want to avoid putting any additional stress and focus on Harry. And though Harry is initially resentful, he shows his emerging maturity here by realizing that there are far more important matters going on than being selected a prefect.

Another contradiction should be noted. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 10|''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'']], Fudge, speaking with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Madam Rosmerta|Madam Rosmerta]], Hagrid, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Filius Flitwick|Professor Flitwick]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]], quite clearly believes that Voldemort is still alive, and that Sirius, his "most trusted lieutenant," intends to rejoin him. In this chapter, he denies the possibility, as he has ever since [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] categorically stated that he had returned, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 36|''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']]. One would suspect that this was the author's failing, except that it fits in so well with Fudge's character. Fudge quite clearly believes in the first rule of politics: get re-elected. It was on Fudge's watch that the Wizarding administration suffered the public relations catastrophe represented by the only escape from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Azkaban|Azkaban]] in history. The [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dementor|Dementors]], as unpopular as they are, are the only route Fudge has to recover from that debacle. Voldemort, off somewhere in some distant land and ineffective, is a good bogey-man, useful in retaining public support despite the inconveniences the roaming Dementors cause the Wizarding population. Thus, Fudge publicly and privately believes in a distant and ineffective Voldemort who must be stopped at all costs from reuniting with Sirius Black. A real, re-embodied Voldemort, active and recruiting in England, is far too close, far too dangerous, and far too destabilizing for Fudge and his regime to survive. Thus, he now must believe that this has not happened, that Voldemort has died. If Voldemort could exist far away and harmless, he could also exist nearby and dangerous, so he must not have been around two years before either. As a good politician, Fudge either believes privately as he does publicly, or else he chooses to mask all doubts in order to present a confident face.
