isozyme: you: hey isozyme, what do you want most in this world? me: project runway AUs in every fandom Keep in mind that both Potter and Granger are names with Norman and Anglo Saxon roots . Also Keep in mind that Harry Potters family had lived in england since at least the 13th century because of the Potter families ancestors being the Peverells . In other words, the people who had the Deathly Hallows. Trace the Peverell name further back and you get Old French origins. Therefore, Harry Potters family was entirely made up of French, and Norman nobleman as far back as perhaps Charlemagne. Since the Peverell and the Potters were considered pure-blood until Harry Potters father married Lily Evans, it seems impossible that he would be in anyway of African descent. Even following Lily Evans family history makes it impossible considering that the Evans family name was predominantly Cornish, or Welsh, if anything this indicates Harrys extended family remained in England for at least One Thousand Years. If anything Harry would be Whiter than Malfoy as the Malfoy family name is Predominantly French, with no Cornish, or Norman roots, therefore with a Lower Latitude, and potentially larger amounts of access to the sun Malfoy would possibly have an olive tint, courtesy of the mediterranean.Or the french origins are merely the holdoff from a family that left France centuries ago, along with the Peverells, which means both would have the same skin tone. For Granger, I can bet you will vocalize how Scotty Granger is African-American, but see how you already fucked up? American. Unlike America, the aristocratic patterns of England, followed by the fact it never had any major importation of Slaves to its land makes any defense based on American culture lukewarm at best, idiotic at worst. If you want to make an AU of Harry Potter, at least put some effort into it, Change the Surname, actually add some fucking thought to the situation, and don’t just vomit up American Cultural Anachronisms everywhere, its offensive, and its ignorant of the situation in England, both at the time, and even now. -- source link
