[Harry Potter] What aren't the Gryffindors telling us?

In the books, the main characters are all members of one house: Slytherinish Harry, Ravenclawish Hermione, Hufflepuffish Ron are all somehow sorted into Gryffindor, the house of which Dumbledore was also a member. 

These are the figures who are writing the history. Other voices, like those representing Slytherins' historic desire for protection against Muggle oppression, or the inconvenient reporting of the *Daily Prophet* or even *The Quibbler*, are generally marginalized, mocked or delegitimized. 

How can one really tell what's true? What's the other side of the story?

Dumbledore pretty much ruled Britain from the shadows. He was a crucial member of every important organization in wizarding society, not only did he lead Hogwarts, but also had the Wizengamot and the International Confederation of Wizards in his pocket, and commanded a technically illegal paramilitary force, the Order of the Phoenix. He accomplished everything Grindelwald and Voldemort wished they could have, just in a more subtle manner.

Of course, he arranged it so that his vision of the world would survive him. Harry Potter, widely known to be Dumbledore's protege, now directs law enforcement in the country, and ~~her~~ his friend, Hermione Granger, is Minister of Magic. 

Minerva McGonagall, former member of the illegal Order of the Phoenix, is now Headmaster at Hogwarts. It's been almost 70 years of continued Gryffindor, Dumbledorist administration at the premier Wizarding school in Britain. Even Slytherin has been corrupted, with Harry Potter somehow managing to have one of his children sorted into the House.

Of course, the old families are almost extinct. The Blacks went extinct in the war, the Malfoys are disgraced and shunned by Wizarding society. It's a rapidly changing world.
