My Response to Lauren's blog number 4

I saw the terms half breeds and mystical creatures and instantly thought of Harry Potter. Then I read the rest of your blog and realized that I would actually be able to make a connection to Harry Potter. Like you said, Cecilia herself is a mulatto, but yet she refers to her mulatto friends as half bloods in a demeaning manner. Now lets think of the Half-Blood Prince, Severus Snape, who himself is a half blood like Cecilia. Now as many of us probably know, Snape is a good guy in the end, but for the majority of the series that is not known, and Snape allies himself with the Death eaters who despise and hunt those who lack pure wizard blood. Although Snape is half-blood, we see him ally himself with those of a higher status than himself. We see Cecilia do a similar thing, where she is clearly "half-blood" herself in her mulatto nature, but sees herself as white, as a higher standing than her own friends who have a darker skin than herself, which would put her also as higher standing.
