Curious. I read through an AU fic the other day. It went through an altered version of HP and the Philosopher's Stone. When I came to the part concerning Fluffy and the harp that had been left behind by Quirrell, I wondered for the first time--why the flipping fuck did he bring a harp? A harp. A giant, frigging, harp. I don't think it an absurd notion that quivering, little Quirrell would not be fit enough to carry that sort of instrument around with him. Perhaps I am being silly, for they are wizards; and he might have charmed it to be small or transfigured it to be a stuffed bunny. Still, why was it not a simple banjo or kazoo? Eh.... Maybe he simply had a passion for the instrument.
Been observing The Nephew as a model for a young Draco Malfoy for another eternally unfinished fic. The Little Brat doesn't shut up, turns red and bawls when he hasn't his way (more of a Dudley trait, really), and is slightly smitten with Harry Potter. Perhaps The Nephew fancies him, too.
General observation: Looks like Harry, act like Draco. Conclusion: The Nephew is the long lost love child of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.
