It is possible for someone with two X chromosomes to still be colorblind, but since this gene is recessice you have to have the mutation on both chromosomes, which makes it way more rare.

I don't know if OP speaks french or it's just a funny coincidence, but "pipe" is also slang for blow job.

Really interesting concept you brought up, did not know that law and yes it makes perfect sense.

And I totally get your point, but it is still an issue to me considering that she wanted to keep the audience hooked as they aged. As someone put it in another comment, in the first book, Harry is eleven, it appeals to kids ~11 y.o, and so on. But, and I speak personnaly, by the fifth book it was already too disjointed for 15 y.o. me. Her books are like a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure book/episode, but without all the corny humor and the self-awarness that makes it fun.

You brought up a really good example of a fantasy world with boundaries by mentionning Tolkien. It is heavily insinuated in the LOTR books that "magic" is not "endless posibilities magic", it has more to do with special aptitudes and/or knowledge depending on the race (like elves or wizards). It's not like Gandalf can just snap a finger and transform someone into a chicken. I know it limits what you can do with your world but in the case of HP it opens the door to endless plot holes and contradictions.

Yeah I am pretty sure this is the intention of the writers. Showing yourself naked to your subordinate is not "homoerotism", it's harassment.

I've had the 2× spicy. Honnestly the reason they should be recalled is for their quantity of salt. My mouth was burning more because of that than the spiciness.

Thanks for clarifying. Totally agree.

It's easy to point the finger at China when so many products the western world consumes is manufactured there.

Of course the root of evil is capitalism, but you have to understand that we would need to greatly reduce meat consuption to have the "ethical" way of breeding that most people expect. The reason why the animal exploitation is so bad is that it has to satisfy a demand that keeps growing. People expect to continue their eating habits and that companies should just be held accountable, change their ways and still produce the same quantities of meat/diaries/eggs.
