Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Good vs. Evil Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Quote #4

RON: There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.

Just so we're clear here: the bad guys are all the ones over Slytherin House…or are they?

Quote #5

FIRENZE: It is a terrible crime to slay a unicorn. Drinking the blood of a unicorn will keep you alive even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have slain something so pure that from the moment the blood touches your lips, you will have a half-life. A cursed life.

Evil comes with a great price, the same way that good does. Voldemort is evil because he's willing to pay it: the rewards for him are worth the horrible things he has to do.

Quote #6

HERMIONE: You mean, You-Know-Who's out there, right now, in the forest?

HARRY: But he's weak. He's living off the unicorns. Don't you see? We had it wrong. Snape doesn't want the stone for himself, he wants the stone for Voldemort. With the Elixir of Life, Voldemort will be strong again. He'll…he'll come back.

RON: But if he comes back, you don't think he'll try to kill you, do you?

HARRY: I think if he'd had the chance, he might have tried to kill me tonight.

And there's the sinister plot, in a nutshell. They may have some of the players wrong, but by understand the depths of Voldemort's evil, they understand just how dangerous he could be if he returned.
