Skull-with-sunglasses Shaun did a whole thing about Harry Potter as neoliberal high fantasy - arguably arguing that it stems from the tribalist worldview that hierarchies are inevitable and all we can do is shuffle around who goes where. Harry becomes a wizard-cop because he's the right kind of person to wield power. Things are good because he does them. To people in that conservative mindset, asking why he didn't question that power structure is like asking an apple why it didn't fall up.
