It\'s true that the quote isn\'t self-demonstrating, but I feel that Harry Potter is a significant enough work for pretty much everyone reading this page being aware that McGonagall is several decades older than Harry, even if they never read the books or watch the movies themselves.

I would be in favor of putting it back.

Although, while the relationship between the two characters definitely fits the trope in later books, I\\\'m not sure this quote is the best exemple of it. The simple fact that she [[LastNameBasis calls Harry by his last name]] here seems to indicate that the relationship is still that of student and his teacher.

* The fact that John says the line above indicates that he is still willing to give Sam and Bucky a chance to work with him but — in his, somewhat skewed view — they ruined it by venting their personal issues to him, and letting him be humiliated.\'\'\'\

Which is ultimately a poor representation of the scene for several reasons, most obviously that it\\\'s not what actually happened, and thus that saying \\\"it was bad because Sam and Bucky surely felt bad about treating Walker like crap\\\" is more to the tune of attempting to legitimize fan speculation (and thus better fit for the YMMV page) that relating what was in the actual series and is not really a reaction to the scene itself (and frankly, trying to frame it as \\\"it\\\'s same and Bucky\\\'s fault for not treating him as good as they should have\\\" is kind of iffy).

Thus, I reworded it to be more in line with what actually happened:

* As Walker mourns for his friend, and contemplates his action, Sam and Bucky can do nothing but to watch as the man chosen as the new Captain America breaking down in front of their eyes. Walker is reduced to a wailing, unstable wreck, bitterly raving about how it wasn\\\'t his fault and how everyone is against him, and none of Sam\\\'s attempts to get through to him keep him from violently rampaging at the thought of anyone trying to take away what he thinks is entitled to him.

However, after a few days original poster changed it back verbatim to the original with only a note of \\\"you shouldn\\\'t have changed this,\\\" and as I really don\\\'t want to go back and forth I\\\'m putting it up for discussion before changing it again.
