harry is a little shit, isn't he?

Oh he definitely is. I don’t get fics that characterize Harry as shy or the kind of person that just stands and accept what’s being thrown at him. No love. Harry will make sure his opinions are heard, whether the person facing him likes it or not. Harry would end someone’s WHOLE career and make them regret they had decided to talk to him. I mean that kid is literally a little shit that doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut. From the Minister and Dumbledore till Dudely. He’ll make sure to give you shit no matter who you are.

Anyways, these are just a few lines that I absolutely admire and I think are immensely underrated:

"Aunt Petunia often said that Dudley looked like a baby angel - Harry often said that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig." -PS

“The tub was full of what looked like dirty rags swimming in gray water. ‘What's this?’ he asked Aunt Petunia. Her lips tightened as they always did if he dared to ask a question. ‘Your new school uniform.’ she said. Harry looked in the bowl again. ‘Oh,’ he said, ‘I didn't realize it had to be so wet’ -PS

“‘A Nimbus Two Thousand, sir,’ said Harry, fighting not to laugh at the look of horror on Malfoy's face. ‘And it's really thanks to Malfoy here that I've got it,’ he added.” -PS

“'Pity you can't attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy,’ said Harry. 'Then it could catch the Snitch for you.'” -POA

"’yeah, you can have a word, goodbye'” -GOF

"’Listening to the news! Again?' ‘Well, it changes every day, you see,' said Harry.” -OOTP

“‘We're not stupid, you know,’ said Uncle Vernon. ‘Well, that's news to me,’ said Harry,” -OOTP

"‘Not this brave at night, are you?’ sneered Dudley. ‘This is night, Diddykins. That's what we call it when it goes all dark like this.’ -OOTP

“'I've left a letter telling your aunt and uncle not to worry’ ‘They won't’ said Harry. ‘- that you're safe-’ ‘That'll just depress them’ ‘-and you'll see them next summer’ ‘Do I have to?’ Lupin smiled but made no answer.” -OOTP

“‘Yeah, Quirrell was a great teacher,’ said Harry loudly, ‘there was just that minor drawback of him having Lord Voldemort sticking out of the back of his head.’” -OOTP

“‘Harry, don't go picking a row with Malfoy, don't forget, he's a perfect now, he could make life difficult for you..’ ‘Wow, I wonder what it'd be like to have a difficult life?’ Said Harry sarcastically.” -OOTP

“‘An interview?’ repeated Umbridge, her voice thinner and higher than ever. ‘What do you mean?’ ‘I mean a reporter asked me questions and I answered them,’ said Harry. ‘Here—’ And he threw the copy of The Quibbler at her.” -OOTP

“‘You're dead, Potter.’ Harry raised his eyebrows. ‘Funny,’ he said, ‘you'd think I'd have stopped walking around.’” -OOTP

"this younger albus dumbledore's long hair and beard were auburn. having reached their side of the street, he strode off along the pavement, drawing many curious glances due to the flamboyantly cut suit of plum velvet that he was wearing. 'nice suit, sir’ said Harry, before he could stop himself" -HBP

“…purely for the pleasure of it, [Harry] turned the orange robes on Ron's Chudley Cannons posters bright blue.” -DH

“Scrimgeour leaned forward again and placed the Snitch, slowly and deliberately, into Harry's palm. Nothing happened. … ‘That was dramatic,’ said Harry coolly. Both Ron and Hermione laughed.” -DH

“Scrimgeour scratched his badly shaven cheek, scrutinizing Harry. ‘Why do you think-’ ‘Dumbledore wanted to give me the sword?’ said Harry, struggling to keep his temper. ‘Maybe he thought it would look nice on my wall.’ ‘This is not a joke, Potter!’ growled Scrimgeour.” -DH

“‘Interesting theory,’ said Harry. ‘Has anyone ever tried sticking a sword in Voldemort? Maybe the Ministry should put some people onto that, instead of wasting their time stripping down Deluminators or covering up breakouts from Azkaban. So is this what you've been doing, Minister, shut up in your office, trying to break open a Snitch?’” -DH

“‘It's time you learned some respect’ ‘It's time you earned it’" -DH

“‘Sorry, I just think it's a bit spookier if it's midnight!’ said Ron. ‘Yeah, because we really need a bit more fear in our lives,’ said Harry, before he could stop himself.” -DH

Wait I was under the impression Pomona Sprout was born somewhere between '31, and '41 making her go to Hogwarts with Minerva...? (Honest question here, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way)

Avatar

No not at all! To me, I always assumed Sprout was in her mid-50s (flyaway grey hair) when I read Sorcerer’s Stone the first time. That’s just my assumption! I also assumed that Sibyl and Minnie were at school together, but that Sprout was a bit younger. McGonagall would have been in her 60s or 70s during Harry’s time at Hogwarts. Doing the math backwards, that makes Sprout a young teacher during the Marauders Era (or tbh maybe she’s out being a plant expert in the Amazon and not even the teacher yet) in her mid 20s. (30 years between James’ first year and Harry’s first year). 

If Sprout was in her 20s during the Marauders years at school, she would be the same age range as Molly, Gideon, and Fabian Prewett, Arthur Weasley, and more. We don’t know a lot about Professor Sprout, as she is rarely mentioned in books hundreds of pages long. For all we know, she could have a family of her own, live off grounds, be in a happy relationship with Madame Pomfrey and send out scented Christmas cards signed Poppy and Pom. I don’t know! 

Here are all the references describing Professor Pomona Sprout in the books:

1. The Philosopher’s Stone - Mentions (times she/her name is mentioned): 3. Speaking roles (e.g. one “dialogue interaction” is one role, not each line): 0

Chapter 8 - The Potions Master
Three times a week they went out to the greenhouses behind the castle to study Herbology, with a dumpy little witch called Professor Sprout, where they learned how to take care of all the strange plants and fungi, and found out what they were used for.

2. The Chamber of Secrets - Mentions: 24. Speaking roles: 4.

Chapter 6 - Gilderoy Lockhart
Professor Sprout was a squat little witch who wore a patched hat over her flyaway hair; there was usually a large amount of earth on her clothes and her fingernails would have made Aunt Petunia faint.
Professor Sprout took a large key from her belt and unlocked the door. 
Professor Sprout put the pink, fluffy pair over her own ears, rolled up the sleeves of her robes, grasped one of the tufty plants firmly, and pulled hard.

3. The Prisoner of Azkaban - Mentions: 2. Speaking roles: 1.

The only mention of Sprout is when she chastised Ron for letting his beans grow in Herbology.

4. The Goblet of Fire - Mentions: 15. Speaking roles: 1.

Chapter 12 - The Triwizard Tournament
Tiny little Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher, was sitting on a large pile of cushions beside Professor Sprout, the Herbology teacher, whose hat was askew over her flyaway gray hair

5. The Order of the Phoenix - Mentions: 15. Speaking roles: 0.

Chapter 11 - The Sorting Hat’s New Song
Professor Sprout’s eyebrows had disappeared into her flyaway hair and Professor McGonagall’s mouth was as thin as Harry had ever seen it. No new teacher had ever interrupted Dumbledore before.

6. The Half Blood Prince - Mentions: 17. Speaking roles: 3.

Chapter 14 - Felix Felicis
The pod flew out from under Ron’s fingers and hit the green house glass, rebounding onto the back of Professor Sprout’s head and knocking off her old, patched hat.

Sidebar, there’s a very strange convo Harry overhears between Slughorn and Sprout 

“… I do thank you for taking the time, Pomona,” Slughorn was saying courteously. “Most authorities agree that they are at their most efficacious if picked at twilight.”“Oh, I quite agree,” said Professor Sprout warmly. “That enough for you?

and I’m just like NOPE thanks bye. Sprout is too good for you Slugs. Plus my headcanon is that he’s of the “Confirmed Old Bachelor” persuasion. So stop sucking up to steal Sprout’s hard cultivated Hufflepuff work.

Arguably, Sprout has one of the most important lines in the series:

Chapter 29 - The Phoenix Lament
“I am sure Dumbledore would have wanted the school to remain open,” said Professor Sprout. “I feel that if a single pupil wants to come, then the school ought to remain open for that pupil.”
Chapter 30 - The White Tomb
He had never seen Professor Sprout, Head of the Hufflepuffs, looking so clean; there was not a single patch on her hat, and when they reached the Entrance Hall, they found Madam Pince standing beside Filch, she in a thick black veil that fell to her knees, he in an ancient black suit and tie reeking of mothballs.

7. The Deathly Hallows - Mentions: 13. Speaking roles: 2.

Chapter 30 - The Sacking of Severus Snape
“Minerva!” said a squeaky voice, and looking behind him, still shielding Luna from flying spells, Harry saw Professors Flitwick and Sprout sprinting up the corridor toward them in their nightclothes, with the enormous Professor Slughorn panting along at the rear.
Chapter 31 - The Battle of Hogwarts
He was roused by Professor Sprout, who was thundering past followed by Neville and half a dozen others, all of them wearing earmuffs and carrying what appeared to be large potted plants.

As you can see, Sprout is mentioned 89 times in a total of 3,407 pages (UK editions) over seven books. This means there is a lot left up to the imagination! Race, age, interests, everything. One of those background characters your imagination can fill in each time you read it. For me, my imagination filled in someone in their 50s, bustling and up to her elbows in dragon dung. But it could be someone in her 60s-70s too! I just like the idea of her being at school with Molly and them, because lumping everyone into one of three generations (Marauders, HP, and Next Gen) is just boring. 

Hope this helps! It probably solved nothing, but it was fun to do and made me homesick to reread the books again.
