Master

=Master (Harry Potter)=
Master or Mistress, originally Magister (Latin for 'master') was a title held by some teaching academics at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.It was also an honorific for young men, a term used by a house-elf to refer to their owner, and used by some followers of Lord Voldemort to refer to him.
==Usage==
===Academia===
In academic contexts, the title was first known to have been used, in Latin, by the Hogwarts founders: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw. With the appointment of the First Headmaster of Hogwarts, the position of Headmaster incorporated the term Master into its title. The terms Charms Master and Potions Master were frequently used at the school to describe the professors of those subjects, though the exact significance behind these in comparison to other subjects is unknown. In 1993, Severus Snape referred to himself as the "master of [Hogwarts]" when attempting to open the Marauder's Map.
===Other uses===
Other usages were primarily honorific. This included house-elves, who tended to refer to their owners as Master, if male, or Mistress, if female; as well as younger men, such as when Borgin referred to Draco Malfoy as "Master Malfoy". Furthermore, Bartemius Crouch Junior and Peter Pettigrew often referred to Lord Voldemort as "Master", signifying their undying loyalty towards him.
