Hello, everyone!
I would like to get your opinions on whether Severus attended a Muggle school before going to Hogwarts or was he home-schooled (by his mother)? Or perhaps he mainly taught himself?
Everyone attends Hogwarts at age 11 or 12. By this age, students know how to read and write, etc. Given that Severus is a half-blood and resided in a Muggle town, do you think he went to Muggle school? If so, he should've met Lily there and need not introduce himself in the playground (it is possible, of course, that their town has more than one school and they went to different ones). He seems to be totally into his wizarding roots that he dislikes anything Muggle. His mother could've taught him the basics (along with his quite extensive knowledge of magic, etc.). On the other hand, he seems to be very neglected so I'm not very convinced that his mother or father spent a lot of time with him (besides Tobias not liking anything much as he put it)....
I'm very interested to hear your take on this.

Re: Tax, Squibs, and HP's take on disability
HPverse in its whole is violent, ruthless and follow the "law of jungle" mentality (Harry is the epitome of this mentality imho). Not a single relation between people are made as equals and in respect of each others. It's always unhealthy relations (I still cringe at how Hermione is always the one isolated and bullied by her supposed friends, until she cry for forgiveness towards Ron and Harry, SS/PS& PoA was clear examples of it).
Luckily, the fandom gave life and expand the HPverse, giving love and necessary qualities for the work to feel human; and it helps to heal from the negative feelings the HP canon left to me, and that is something to appreciate. The topic raised is very interesting indeed, who paid to maintain the WW's institutions working ? (donations à la Malfoy ? Or taxes ?), which legal statut each member have ? How function international laws, identities, travels ? We would never know with canon (since all is well for Harry and its shallow-minded cruel author). I guess their is taxes took directly from salaries, shop benefices, and donations of "pureblood" wizards, to maintain WW institutions, and non-magical parents of witch/wizards who accept to send their childs (because what happens to the one that refuse for X Y reason ?) have to paid depending on their ressources, an entry fee ? No matters how it works, it will still raise ressentment from each sides....
