It is amazing, the very first paragraph of the first Harry Potter book is JKR dunking on the Dursley family for being boring narrow-minded affluent white picket fence nobodies Like the whole "wizard school" metaphor is her earnestly thinking on some level she was above all thathttps://twitter.com/FreyjaErlings/status/1266417145732268033 …

On reflection, the fact one of the first things that Harry learns is that he's rich as fuck is... Kinda telling... As is the fact that Harry is rich is really just an incidental detail that's rarely brought up...

I... I didn't say anything about class? Just that Harry was rich... Which he was.... What's class got to do with it? Or your inheritance? I feel like you skipped some steps?

Um no you said Harry was “rich as fuck” and forgive me but aren’t “rich as fuck” people part of the rich class? otherwise why even bring it up...and my point was he got it through inheritance because his parents who left it to him were murdered.

I'm sorry, the definition of "rich" is not "perfectly happy with no trauma", it's just "has a lot of money"

Also, if his parents hadn't died, he'd still be rich, because he'd have been raised by rich parents He's not rich "because his parents died", he's rich because his grandfather invented that magic hair gel One way or another he has access to that vault full of gold
