    I didn’t really interpret it that way. I took it as “look how annoying people who complain about social justice are”.

    I don’t think she literally supports slavery but it was clearly an allegory for what she views as annoying activist types.

      Rowling said on multiple occasions that Hermione is her “idealized self-insert”.

      So I don’t think she’d use her own self-insert to say “Look how stupid people like me are”. Doesn’t really make sense.
