Hm, did Hagrid leave out a few information that would make the Marauders look back - after all in canon did Snape not call Lily a mudblood out of the blue!
And still...what could be the reason for Felix Potter to break a marriage contract?
I would say that the context is *extremely important*...no matter their age...as they currently believe that Snape used that slur out of the blue...and that's not true... Even when you comfort something, this just isn't okay...
It would've derailed the conversation nor is it relevant to the moment. I didn't include it because it wouldn't be about Hermione being called a mudblood it would turn into about Snape. This would be jarring
Also they don't know it's Snape. They just know a former friend called Lily a mudblood
And I disagree at 12, Harry doesn't need to know his father was a sexual assaulter. Its not the time for the conversation
Okay, I can accept your decision...although Harry still needs to know, that the Marauders were bullies, and didn't accept *any boundaries* - be it sexual assault, breaking the law or a clear murder attempt!
Ah, but maybe they can guess, after all, how many other Slytherins were among Lily's friends?
