The first is not being timid. You made that up. He is a prominent, popular member of the political class, with significant sway and influence.

At the end of the comment I acknowledged that he could probably have moved faster with changes at the school. Dunno if you read that far.

I'm essentially saying he can either be a rational, normal member of a society (albeit well positioned ), or resort to authoritarian options. Are you suggesting another, or did you just want to keep being annoying?

If he was against the use of house elves in the book he was extremely timid about it. At no point in the books does he present himself as a political player in the world.

Ok so timid is your thing, you made it sound like it was my thing.

And what? He's constantly working with the ministry, speaking to the council, running political errands

To prevent the world from being taken over by wizard Nazis. Not to save elves.

Sounds like 2 important topics that a leader should be concerned with. Maybe if the whole Voldemort thing never happened other topics could have been addressed but we have nothing on that

Correct. The book does not adress any other social issue than immediate threats of wizard nazism and it crops up once every 10-15 years because the schools won't even reform the evil school house where the evil people can socialize and be evil with each other.
