I stopped reading half way though the books, but I had assumed that the SPEW storyline would come back up later and vindicate Hermione. I was very surprised when I heard it never got brought back up. The last word on that story line was that House Elves were a natural slave race and Hermione was wasting her time channeling that. If you read Hermione’s cause as just, that’s because you have better morals then Rowling.
To me, her cause seemed just. That was my insight from the books.
Yes, you think it seems just, but the books don’t treat it that way
I get my impression from the books
