I sympathize, but... 1) McGonagall has grown since the Roles arc, and is more likely to think about the consequences of her actions, now. 2) She is more maternal than Dumbledore was, he wouldn't have necessarily thought that way and he was in charge after the first dark war 3) Time - it is much more obvious to McGonagall how the newly-orphaned students will react and will be treated, then it would have been for her to realize how much of a target Neville was 4) Similarly, the likely treatment of death eater orphans is probably much more physically severe than what Neville goes/went through 5) Up until the Self Actualization arc, Hogwarts did not take bullying seriously. Many real-world schools still don't

Sure. Doesn't help the victims in any way, Truth and reconciliation are nice, but that is not what is happening here.
This is a new thread to discuss Eliezer Yudkowsky’s Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and anything related to it. This thread is intended for discussing chapter 117.
Plans for next chapter release:
There is a site dedicated to the story at hpmor.com, which is now the place to go to find the authors notes and all sorts of other goodies. AdeleneDawner has kept an archive of Author’s Notes. (This goes up to the notes for chapter 76, and is now not updating. The authors notes from chapter 77 onwards are on hpmor.com.)
