      In my headcanon Harry is quickly disillusioned by his time in the Wizarding government, and comes to realize the role he played in reproducing the status quo rather that fighting for a new radically equal reality. He graduates right before the global economic crisis and gets radicalized, quitting his job and living in the wilderness making Marxist pamphlets and distributing them via a flock of owls that he has cast magical protection spells on and trained not to let themselves be followed back to the hideout. Essentially the whole thing with Voldemort is like the 1905 Revolution, and then somewhere down the line Harry Potter is the Lenin of the wizarding world’s equivalent to the 1917 revolution.

        My headcanon is that Dobby’s writing spreads like fire amongst the house elves and other oppressed magical peoples, and Harry has his throat slit while asleep with the rest of the magocracy during the opening hours of the War of Magical Liberation.
