** Although there were hints in the previous book, ''Ghosts'' has Hermione unknowingly becoming more and more like her mother, such as her increasing power levels and using creative threats to protect her friends. Harry at one point also notes that she demonstrates 'a tone of detached ruthlessness' that reminds him intensely of her grandfather, Magneto.

* LiarRevealed: In chapter 66, Hermione figures out that [[spoiler:she's Wanda's daughter]], and since she'd just gone through some seriously traumatic experiences, involving unwanted Chaos Magic and an unexpected Omega Class X-Gene (specific power: [[spoiler: spatial manipulation]]), she is ''furious''. Especially considering the number of people she trusted who lied to her.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Harry's relationships with Diana, Ginny, and Hermione follow these lines. Technically, so does his with [[spoiler: Maddie]] and Jean, especially given that they're his cousins (and Jean [[BigSisterInstinct big]]-[[CoolBigSis sisters]] him into oblivion), but [[HormoneAddledTeenager his hormones sometimes have other opinions]].

** While hints were shown in the previous book, Hermione starts looking and acting more and more like Wanda in ''Ghosts'', to the point where [[spoiler: Harry]] starts picking up on it. Additionally, [[spoiler: once he realises that she's Wanda's daughter, he also notes 'a tone of detached ruthlessness' that wouldn't have been out of place coming from Magneto]].

* LivingEmotionalCrutch:
** Carol is usually this to Harry, following the events of ''Forever Red'', though sometimes the roles flip. This also tends to mean that Carol effectively has the most dangerous teenager in the known universe on a leash, which does not go unnoticed by the likes of Peter Wisdom (though as Betsy notes, Wisdom's interest in Harry and Carol's relationship extends exactly as far as how it affects Harry's mental state and no further).
** It's also why Harry expresses wariness at the idea of the two of them getting together, stating that if they do, he doesn't want it to be just about him using her as this to keep his mind in one piece.

* NatureVsNurture: The trope is zig-zagged, with the answer coming out somewhere in between. Some personality traits seem to be InTheBlood (Harry being HotBlooded, for instance, and Hermione's 'tone of detached ruthlessness' that Harry notes sounds exactly like [[spoiler:her grandfather, Magneto]]). However, [[UpbringingMakesTheHero upbringing]] is strongly emphasised in the classical case of Clark Kent, and in the two examples where characters are SplitAtBirth ([[spoiler: Jean]] and [[spoiler: Maddie]], and [[spoiler: Scott]] and [[spoiler: Remy -- although Remy's a clone]]) it's made clear that there are definite and fundamental personality differences that come from their respective upbringings.

** Magneto notes that Wanda threatened to skin him alive were he to go anywhere near [[spoiler:Hermione]], and that this was definitely no mere metaphor.

** The Carter-Rogers-Danvers family is especially prone to this. Steve understandably took a while to come around to the idea of having a small clan of descendants; Alison was by her own account "a much better spy than a mother", always assumed that both her children [[FollowInMyFootsteps would follow her into service]] and wound up pushing her daughter away by pushing her too hard; and Mrs. Marie Danvers tried everything to keep her daughter away from superpowered trouble after seeing what it did to her family, making said daughter resent her.
