...no wonder the Weasleys were so poor, with a 7-year Hogwarts degree being $301,000
*gasps* OMG! Converting that into my country's currency'll be like 900,000+ for me! (Assuming that the $301,000 is in USD because if that's in British pounds, it'll be even more) I'd even poorer than the Weasleys!
I've always found canon Draco brutally honest. More so than Luna because at least Luna does it a polite way. Why? Because Hermione really is a rather bossy know-it-all and Ron's family really is poor, with too many children and Arthur is rather obsessed with Muggles - it's almost like a perverse kink for him, the way he talks about bulbs and electricity and stuff. And the thing about calling Muggleborns the M-word? It just like all other curse words, right? Frowned upon heavily by polite society and heavily insulting. But as for its severity in terms of how degrading it is, that's rather subjective isn't it? Because for example, I personally abhor the word 'whore' or 'hoe' because I find it super insulting but some of my friends are fine with it.
