Whoever came up with that chart did not read the books. They could only have gone looking for passages to support their predetermined judgement. Some of what is in the chart twists things 180 degrees from what the book presents. Some examples:

- Book 1, p. 291. “There is no good and evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it.” This is said in defense of the evil that Harry must learn to defeat.

- Book 2, p. 52 mentions a “Hand of Glory.”
Book 3, p. 208. Hit Wizards. Again these are things that are in use by those of evil nature.

There are twisted meanings in that: Book 1, p. 114: There are four houses within the Hogwarts School: Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. (Very much incorrect. The houses each have a prime attribute of those that belong there. S - ambition, R - intelligence G - honor H - friendship.)

Dumbledore (a man) (#1)) Supreme Mugwump
Snape (a man) (#2)
Professor Minerva McGonagall (a woman) (#2) Deputy Headmistress (book 1, p. 51) (McGonagall is actually the one that is second to Dumbledore. Snape is someone that works for him and is trying to atone for an evil past.)

Some of the rest is grasping at straws to make a point. It has no reall connection from the book to the claimed reference.

I'm truly shocked that a website dedicated to the evil that is Harry Potter would be misconstrued stuff and taken stuff out of context. /sarc

They’re obviously representative of the Four Wizards of the Apocalypse!

“...It has no reall connection...”

It needn’t be real - just close enough. The author took liberties - but she is referencing real stuff.
