A lot of good's being done here, I can see that. But there's a lot of tentativeness too. Maybe a desire to protect the gains that have already been made is favoured over bolder moves.
Don't know if Voldemort being killed would have changed things overnight, but I'm inclined to think it would have emboldened regular folk in ways we can't really imagine. What's the Protectorate without its Protector?
In some ways, he was a fool to fashion himself as a god.
