Fanon Sebastian: Protective Sebastian Sallow! So smart and competent!
Canon Sebastian: Slytherin’s scriptorium is so fascinating!… MC, open it and solve the snakes puzzle—of course I could do it myself, but I’ll just stand here… for now… This catacomb is so important!… MC, solve the bones puzzle, I’ll just stand here and watch, I guess that’s a fair division of tasks…
(Sure, he’s a prisoner of the game, but still 💀)

I feel like Hogwarts Legacy has made a much better job in creating characters fitting into their houses. 😅
I know in the Harry Potter books it's about 'actions are more important than just character traits, but it feels weird, when Harry for example is very much a Gryffindor at his core in the first place - like he didn't really need to go against his traits at all. 😅
When it comes to the houses I always ask myself what the character would do in a stressful situation - I think that's always a good indicator of where they belong.
As Harry dreams about Sirius beeing tortured by Voldemort, his first reaction is to attack, to get into action, to find him, fight everone who stands in his way and done - simple, reckless, a little stupid Gryffindor logic.
Hermione on the other side (I know she's technically a Gryffindor, but that's the point right? In my mind she would have been better off in Ravenclaw), thinks in that exact same situation. She wants to make sure it's not a trap, thinks about the dangers that will await them and tries to prepare herself and the others for it.
I feel in Hogwarts Legacy it's much more clear.
Natsai is very adventurous, her first reaction to Rookwood and Harlow is to fight them. She throws herself in dangerous situations and just wings it from there on.
Garreth doesn't care what others think of him and just does his thing. Could his potions be dangerous to him or other students? Very much so. Does he care? Not at all.
I had my problems with Leander, but I really like now that they put him into Gryffindor because I think he shows the bad sides of the traits of his house very well. He's highly competitive (I think competitive and ambitious are different things) to a point were he becomes arrogant and annoying. He wants to fight and learn dangerous spells, to a point were he's rude to a professor. I don't think he's a coward, he's just not able to let actions follow his big words.
Amit loves knowledge just because of knowledge itself. He is easily fascinated by other cultures and probably everything around him and tries to understand it. He wants to know the 'how' and 'why' and is very creative when it comes to problem solving.
Poppy is brave, but always because of a reason, not for the adventure itself. She wants to protect and has a very soft spot for the weaker ones. If problems arise, she'll ask for help and has overall a very caring personality.
Ominis first reaction, when he catches MC leaving the Undercroft is to threaten her with his status and connections. A behaviour caused by the stress of feeling betrayed and a clear indicator of his house. 😅
And do we even have to talk about Sebastian? 😅 If there's a problem, his first reaction is to charm, to manipulate, to taunt and to gather information so that it's more likely he succeeds.

I’ve seen takes that HP is just a standard YA novel with fractions and the Chosen One. And also that Harry is a terrible Chosen One since he’s just a normal wizard, and not someone extraordinary. But:
HP isn’t a YA novel, it’s a book for children. It might not always seem so since it gets pretty dark, but it’s still worth to keep it in mind when analysing how it approaches certain themes (like romance) and characters.
Hogwarts houses aren’t YA “fractions”, they’re based on real British school houses that exist or used to exist.
Harry being completely normal is the point. He isn’t the Chosen One because he’s extraordinary; he’s the Chosen One because Voldemort decided to treat him like one.

Sebastian Sallow, 1890:
Sebastian Sallow 15 years later in the Department of International Magical Co-operation*:
That Curse-Breaking dream didn’t work out in the end, I guess.
*That’s the one where Percy Weasley worked, writing reports about cauldron thickness.

Sebastian Sallow Headcannon
Just some musings I wanted to jot down.
Sebastian has an all-or-nothing mentality.
Here's why:
His Actions:
Dueling Obsession: Sebastian throws himself into duels with intensity. He relishes victory and likely feels crushed by losing to MC, seeing it as a major failure rather than a learning experience.
Quest for a Cure: He's fixated on finding a way to heal his sister. This single-minded focus suggests he might neglect other aspects of his life in the pursuit of his goal.
Pursuit of MC: His boldness and persistence with MC suggests a "go big or go home" approach to his desires. He wants to win her over completely, not settle for casual flirtation.
His Attitude:
Confidence vs. Insecurity: Sebastian projects an air of arrogance, but hints of vulnerability suggest hidden insecurities. This kind of dichotomy is common in all-or-nothing individuals.
Need for Control: Sebastian enjoys dominating situations – duels, social interactions, etc. This suggests a desire to control outcomes rather than accept the unpredictability of life.
Black and White Thinking: He might view MC as a prize to be won rather than a complex individual. This hints at a limited ability to see things in shades of grey.
Potential Consequences:
Burnout – Sebastian's intensity might lead to exhaustion and disillusionment if his efforts to cure his sister don't bring quick results.
Relationship Struggles – His intensity with MC might scare her away, especially if she doesn't respond in the same way.
Missed Opportunities – His singular focus might cause him to neglect his other studies, friendships, and opportunities for personal growth.

Sebastian's Arc Fix-It
While playing "Hogwarts Legacy", I found Sebastian's quests both very interesting and very frustrating. I ended up writing my own fix-it fic to give everybody a happy ending.
The main character is a Gryffindor named Agnes Longbottom. This is how I imagine her:
...but her appearance doesn't really matter.
I'm convinced that Sebastian has a crush on the player character, so in the first chapter I described his perspective from the Welcoming Feast up to the Crucio scene.
The second chapter contains the main fix-it scene—where Anne is cured and the tragedy of the In the Shadow of the Relic quest is prevented. The fic diverges from canon after In the Shadow of Hope quest. The rest of the canonical events (like Natty's quests or defeating Ranrok, except for the rest of Sebastian's sidequests) take place in the fic, but in a slightly different way.
I wanted to give Anne more agency, to show her as a person with her own opinions, needs and desires instead of just a poor victim or source of motivation for others. However, in the third chapter it's worth noting that she's a little too harsh on Sebastian, which can be seen during their first conversation—she's suspicious of him and she misunderstands his words (though he could certainly explain his opinion in a better, more gentle way).
Summary: Sebastian would give anything to save Anne, because what’s worse than suffering and death of his beloved sister? And then he meets Agnes, a pretty Gryffindor who wants to help him—and who comes up with a solution. But curing Anne comes at a price. Now he must face moral and emotional implications that he didn’t consider.
Completed.

I’m during my second play-through as a Gryffindor and while going to the Hall of Herodiana in the middle of the night, I met Sebastian in his favourite tower just staring at that big globe. Up to this point, whenever I met him, he was usually just walking around or reading on the bench, nothing interesting. But here he definitely had some issues 💀

HL Incorrect Quote #62
*in the Scriptorium*
Sebastian: Extraordinary! I could stay in here all day!
Ominis: I would rather we didn't. I wish for us to leave as soon as-
*slurping sounds*
Sebastian and Ominis: *turn to see and hear MC sipping from a cup*
Sebastian: Where did you get that?
MC: Oh, it was just sitting here.
Ominis: And you DRANK it? Do you not realize how long that beverage had to be sitting there?
MC: It was only a little dusty.
Ominis: A little-?! You are going to kill yourself one of these days!
Sebastian: Why would you just drink some random cup of...whatever is in there?
MC: I think it was tea. You're telling me you're not curious what kind of tea a founder of Hogwarts drank?
Sebastian:
Sebastian: Well, when you put it like that-
Ominis: DON'T ENCOURAGE THIS-

Sebastian Is an INTP
I view Sebastian as an INTP. Of corsę, some people may see him differently, because we don’t know for certain why he behaves the way he does, what he thinks, what he feels—if he’s manipulative or just misunderstood. Here’s my opinion.
Introverted Thinking (Ti): He approaches everything mostly through the lens of logic and knowledge, for example while trying to befriend MC he asks a lot of questions to know MC better (instead of hanging out with MC more casually and doing something funny together), he reads a lot of about curses to understand Anne’s condition better and find a cure (instead of focusing on making Anne happy, giving her presents, spending time with her and so on), he says in the scriptorium that Crucio is just a spell (highly logical approach without taking more emotional and social aspects into account).
That’s why I think he’s genuinely interested in MC when he asks all his questions—that’s the way INTPs tend to befriend people and if they have a crush on somebody, they’re sometimes a bit obsessive, because they value knowledge very much as it helps them navigate the world. That’s also why I think he didn’t have malicious intentions behind learning Crucio—I think he did it to understand Ominis better, not to torture people.
Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Sebastian is very curious, has many ideas and explores different options, for example he learns more about plants (the Shrivelfig), the Dark Arts (the relic) and Ancient Magic in order to cure Anne. And he likes puns (“ominous corridors” 💀).
Introverted Sensing (Si): This is a tertiary function, so it’s less prominent, but I think it’s visible in how acts when he’s stressed—the Ti-Si loop. He focuses very much on his good memories of Anne at school and his bad memories of his uncle at home, but his thinking lacks balance and emotional grounding. I think that’s one of the factors that led him to killing his uncle—for a long time he kept thinking too much about all the bad memories without any kind of healthier outlet.
Extroverted Feeling (Fe): He’s quite friendly, he takes other people’s emotions into account, he apologises after ‘so ignorant’ quarrel, but at the same time he doesn’t seem to fully understand the impact emotions have on everything (it makes sense for the inferior function).

I’ve seen a lot of screenshots where people changed Sebastian’s clothes, but it’s always something fancy. Give him that unhinged MC’s fashion sense, put him in the pyjamas with a coat, a scarf that doesn’t match, some weird glasses and the most unusual hat you can find. Be brave. Embrace the cringe.

I don’t think Sebastian was interested in the Unforgivable Curses before the game.
When he teaches MC Confringo, he presents it as something awesome and forbidden, but is it really so much worse than Bombarda that is taught at school? I used Confringo a lot… for Merlin Trials! What a truly horrible spell. So frankly speaking, I think Sebastian’s bar for dangerous spells was initially set rather low.
I believe he taught himself Crucio (or rather—read a lot about it, because as far as we know he’d never cast it before) to understand what Ominis had been through. I don’t think he had malicious intentions behind it.
He probably taught himself Imperio after he read in the spellbook that it might be needed to find the relic.
Then he started to become more angry and aggressive, thinking about dead goblins… and I guess sometime along the way he decided to teach himself Avada Kedavra as it was even more useful than Imperio in his eyes.

Remadora
…isn’t as problematic as some people claim it is IMHO. Yes, there’s a big age gap (13 years) and while this is a factor that sometimes results in power imbalance in the relationship, it doesn’t necessarily lead to abuse (just like any other factor like that).
There’re other aspects of their relationship that nullify that power imbalance:
Lupin has never been in a romantic relationship before. His lack of experience in that regard puts him in a totally different position than, let’s say, a 36yo divorced man with three children.
Tonks has a prestigious career while Lupin has always had trouble to keep a job due to his condition. She isn’t financially dependent on him; on the contrary, his position is far worse than hers.
She has more strong, independent personality while he’s more submissive and compliant.
Last but not least, they’re both adults when they meet (and Tonks isn’t 18yo student, she’s a grown up woman with a good job) and neither of them seem to use any kind of power imbalance for their own advantage.
Personally I’m not a fan of big age gap relationships and in my opinion Lupin is a much more flawed character than most fans believe, but there’s no abuse going on.
