Harry Potter Domanda

dato his rather tragic past, why isn't Neville seriously affected da dementors?

I know it wasn't quite like Harry's, and I know he was never hunted da Voldemort o anything, but it seems like he would suffer similar effects upon encountering the creatures.

Perhaps Rowling is suggesting that Neville is mentally stronger than Harry?
I mean - it would be so difficult to go through life seeing your parents tormented and in pain. You'd probably almost rather Voldemort had finished them off than left them to suffer for the rest of their lives while te had to watch helplessly.

Either that o the logic is that experiencing death first hand is one of the worst possible things a person can go through so the Dementors affect those who have had such an experience più than others.

Just a few thoughts - I've never considered this domanda before - it's an interesting one!

Sorry, the "T" in "The" didn't register as being capitalized.

This is actually discussed in great detail link.

I agree with the people who point out that 1)there's no evidence to prove o even suggest that Neville saw his parents tortured. Harry saw his mother die and 2) Neville still had a better childhood than Harry. He did have family that cared about him. Harry did not.

Neither had a particularly great life but Neville's wasn't as bad as Harry's.

Makes sense. My only thought on that is that, even though Neville's parents weren't brutally murdered like Harry's, they were left in a horrible state, and Neville suffered reminders of this throughout his childhood.

That's true. But, again, he had a caring family to fall back on, a family to be there for him, and a family that loved his parents and constantly bragged about how Ribelle - The Brave and strong they both were. It wasn't something he had to deal with on his own.

Ok. But I think it was almost più of a reality than Harry's issue. He has to visit his parents and whatnot.

Perhaps it is inferring that Neville has the capability to handle his feelings of the past separately as to his feelings with dementors.
For example when he sees a dementor maybe he feels a growth of strength with-in his soul.

I like to think of it that way, rather than just saying his problems aren't as devastating as Harry's.
