That's it. But seriously, she's the most phenomenal characters in the series.

She was often seen as harsh, but she pushed students to achieve what they could. And I doubt she'd take any shit if you came to her and told her that someone had been bullying you, or about something personal.

And I think this is why she cared about the students so much, especially during the war. Yes, some of it was maternal, but it would be unfair to put it all to that. I think a huge part of it was her emotional and actual real world investment in them - she spent years teaching them not only to turn matches into needles but also how to be a witch/wizard in the modern word, lessons on morale and on being human.

She was never vulnerable, but she wasn't above helping others to be either.

These are just some (incredibly biased) opinions and i'd love to hear yours/just rant about how amazing she is.
