• People sometimes ask me if I would not give anything to be white, I answer, in the words of the song, most emphatically, 'No.'  How do I know what I might be if I were a white man?  I might be a sand-hog, burrowing away and losing my health for $8 a day.  I might be a street-car conductor at $12 or $15 a week.  There is many a white man less fortunate and less well equipped than I am.  In fact, I have never been able to discover that there was anything disgraceful in being a colored man.  But I have often found it inconvenient - in America.

And yet somehow the most matter-of-fact person could not help thinking of the hogs; they were so innocent, they came so very trustingly; and they were so very human in their protests - and so perfectly within their rights! They had done nothing to deserve it; and it was adding insult to injury, as the thing was done here, swinging them up in this cold-blooded, impersonal way, without pretence at apology, without the homage of a tear.

• The exceptions were two men a little ahead of them, standing just outside the Three Broomsticks. One was very tall and thin; squinting through his rain-washed glasses Harry recognized the barman who worked in the other Hogsmeade pub, the Hog’s Head. As Harry, Ron, and Hermione drew closer, the barman drew his cloak more tightly around his neck and walked away, leaving the shorter man to fumble with something in his arms.
