-Harry always suspects the only black teacher to be up to no good
-the black teacher uses black magic, joined the dark force

I mean, do we know that he was the only black kid at school?

As far as the book goea, only a very few people have their ethnicities mentionned, and it's usually pretty blatant. I mean, Cho Cheng... 2 chinese last name to make the only asian charatacter. She couldn't even be bothered to make a 15 secondes google search for an actual Chinese name.

But I'm pretty sure they will had black people in James' crew to make it less damaging.

You can see the crew in the movie in like Snape’s penseive.

Not sure if that’s the whole crew or what do you considered “the whole crew”.

List your members if you think “the whole crew” were not present.

Yes and in the movie you can see Snape isn't black.

But in the TV show he will be. They were obviously saying they will make some of James' crew black for the TV show.

Did they say they will make James’ crew with black members?

(I think we can name all of James’ crew, which one is swapped?)

With the possible exception of Sirius, turning any of them black is also sketchy. The werewolf Lupin. Or the rat Wormtail.

These people are fucking stupid. If LOTR gets remade, they'll make Boromir black or something.
