Cultural Background and
Parenting Norms: (Scene 2)
Uncle Vernon's Disapproval
of Magic - "You can‘t have met

Uncle Vernon's disapproval
of magic stems from the

background, causing
conflict with Harry's
wizarding identity.
Parental Concerns and
Empathy: (Scene 1) Aunt
Petunia Redirecting Vernon's
Behavior - "Not now, Bopkins.
For when the Masons arrive."
Aunt Petunia prioritizes
social image over
addressing family issues,
like mistreatment of Harry.

Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry
this year! There is a plot, a

Norms: (Scene 2) Harry's
Attempt to Calm Dobby -
"Dobby, ssh! I‘m sorry! I
didn‘t mean to offend you, or
anything."
Harry tries to calm Dobby
politely, showing empathy
and preserving dignity in
their interaction.
Shared Knowledge and
Assumptions: (Scene 2) Dobby's
Unfamiliarity with Equality -
"Dobby has heard of your
greatness, sir, but never has he
been asked to sit down by a
wizard, like an equal."
Dobby's lack of knowledge
about equality reflects his
role as a house-elf, bound by
different social norms in the
wizarding world.
