a realization

[bedlamsbard]

I'm still on my HP reread, and have finally reached OotP, and you know Chapter Two, "A Peck of Owls", just after Harry and Dudley have been attacked by Dementors? Where Petunia says, "I heard -- that awful boy -- telling her about them -- years ago," and Harry replies, "If you mean my mum and dad, why don't you use their names?" (OotP, American edition, hardback, 32). Well, , I just realized she's not talking about James Potter at all, she's talking about Snape. We know, because we saw the conversation in DH. Wow, JKR was setting this up a long ways back. Or, you know, this could be a realization that everyone's already figured out, but I think it's cool!

In other words, blah blah blah Anakin and Padme's great tragic love story due to being completely unsuited for each other blah blah what does happen when New Hope rolls around in the Lostverse? blah blah SO MUCH KNITTING blah blah blah am getting really good at spider solitaire blah blah.

Nothing new, then! Marching band starts Monday.

As a big fan of the Snape-as-Harry's-real-father fics, I've gotta say that realization made me think "Wait, so, Snape really is Harry's father!!". Of course, then again, I ship Harry/Snape pretty damn hard, so I'm either resigning myself to accepting James as Harry's real father, or setting myself up for yet another incest ship.

Er. No comment. Not related, but have you read Ouroboros (http://tkp.livejournal.com/70244.html) yet? DH fic, epilogue remix that shows how creepy it is.

I think I have read it... the title sounds familiar, and combined with that ship, yeah, I think i have.

It's not a ship fic?

Oh, you said DH, and I thought Draco/Harry, not Deathly Hallows, which means I'm thinking of another fic that starts with an "O" :D

Ha. No, I go H/D for Harry/Draco.
