Not neccessarily. That could also be the woman who was so terrible at being a mom that the best mom decided to do the polar opposite of what her mom would do in every situation.
There has been a M*A*S*H spin-off pilot that’s widely considered to be one of the worst TV shows of all time (sometimes beaten by Heil Honey, I’m Home and I’m still not sure what the Brits were smoking when they came up with that idea). It focusses on Walter “Radar” O’Reilly after returning home from Korea. M*A*S*H made it clear that Radar cared deeply for his family and the family farm, so the first thing the pilot for W*A*L*T*E*R (yes, that was supposed to be the show’s name) does is to make him lose the family farm and send his mother to live with her sister, he then gets dumped by his wife (who cheated on him before) and considers ending his life with sleeping pills, but eventually doesn’t go through with it but instead becomes a small-time police officer.
You’d actually be surprised how many of these “successful” business people need help to survive. Entry level lawyers for example earn very little, but have to keep up appearance, which means they need a car and clothing that makes them look successful to their clients, which is often bought on credit. Or would you hire a lawyer in a worn-out hoodie, jeans and sneakers?
The weirdest thing is when you’ll add up the dates. It happens only a few times that actual dates (day, month and year) are mentioned in the books, the first time (as far as I know) is the Nearly Headless Nick’s Deathday party, which is on the evening of October 31st, 1992. Harry is 12 by then, which means he was born in 1980. The last scene in the book (Harry, Ginny and their kids at the train station) was set in 2017.
It’s set in medieval times (sometimes), that’s hardly ancient.
