Practical Prose of Harry Potter #34

“That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend.” (Harry Potter: The Complete Collection, 4078)

Since Voldemort does not value love, he never understands how Lily’s protective enchantment works on Harry, and this leads to his ultimate self-sabotage. It’s the same in school, where the subjects we most struggle to grasp are usually those we don’t value. If I think understanding chemistry is pointless and provides no value, then it’s going to be tough to learn. If you’re struggling to learn a subject, search for something within it that resonates.
