Honestly it’s kinda fucked that in the HP universe, apparently no other mother than Lily loved their child enough to sacrifice themselves and use this love protection magic on them.

It’s a shame, seems like it would have been super easy to handwave, but they never do.
Voldemore’s soul was uniquely shattered and was apparently freshly injured to make another horcrux after murdering Harry’s family, the cruelty he showed in giving her multiple outs to abandon her son, most likely to kill her anyway.
Holy/white magic is such a cool element in a magic system, especially with how undercooked HP’s is. “This wizard was particularly fucked and unknowingly was the perfect catalyst for white magic to spontaneously manifest to correct”
Like, there was food on the table, and she has wizards shitting themselves despite the castle having bathrooms.
I haven’t said it today, so: fuck JKR for being a transphobic asshole.

Sword of Truth series has some very cool ancient white magic in the world that you get to see.
A few books in it goes balls deep into libertarianism and becomes unreadable but it’s fun while it lasts lol.
