I just realized something while I was reading Harry Potter wiki... It's sad, too.

I have realized that it was not Harry Potter who could be the most pitiful character in the series. Actually, I have deduced that Susan Bones is the most sorrowful character of them all. To those who pay attention to what they read, then, you would agree with me.

What are the things you realized recently? Share them?

Why Susan Bones? She was a nobody in my eyes. (Not in a horrible way, just in the sense that she did nothing to really pay attention to)

WHY SUSAN BONES?! scream
Are you kidding me?!

That child suffered more than Harry Potter and, yes, even more than Neville Longbottom! She had her parents killed during the First Wizarding War and her grandparents, as Jo stated, was murdered by You-Know-Who himself. And of course, the canon one, Amelia Bones? The celebrated head of the Department of Magical Law something... wasn't she murdered between the fifth and sixth book? She's her aunt. Also, Susan's uncle Edgar and his wife was murdered, too.

Ok, family-wise yes. But Harry did have to watch Cedric die, he never knew his parents, he then watched them come back and speak to him whilst he was fighting for his life, he then had to sacrifice himself (which he didn't know would allow him to return) for his friends and for Hogwarts.
So, i disagree that she's been through worse...

Well you never know how her life may have gone because she was such a minor character. I always thought it would be interesting to look more at the characters from the other houses too. There seemed to be a trio/quad in each that seemed similar to the Gryffindor trio and I kinda wanted to know what they were going through in all of the chaos of Hogwarts as well.

Yes, exactly! I've always been on the lookout for the minor characters revolving around the trio. And I found Susan Bones' family particularly pitiful.

For me, all those small side characters who didn't even appear themselfes or were just mentioned every now and then are the pitiful ones. Take Ariana Dumbledore for example.
