* Harry: Dethryl went out of his way to write Ginny into the story, so does that mean it'll be Harry/Ginny? He's dated Tracy and Padma, kissed Daphne, and is the crush-object of Laine Slater. Will Harry wind up with any of them? Harry/Pansy?

** Harry and Laine get together in Y5, but things are more than slightly volatile because [[spoiler: Harry gives her Slytherin's locket for Christmas and she starts wearing it all the time.]]
** Harry and Pansy get a LOT closer in Y6 when she tries to help him get over [[spoiler: Laine's death.]]



*** Astoria gets a LOT more visibility in Y6, so this is entirely plausible.



* Snape's love for Lily will with be a) learnt of the same way it was in cannon, b) learnt of sooner or c) Harry will never find out - maybe Snape will tell him he was friends with Lily but his friendship with Harry will mean he doesn't say anymore for some reason.

* The plot was largely the same until the end of Y3, when things seem to break rather sharply. On the tin, Y4 is the same, but it is learned at the end that the plot went off the rails. How similar will Y5 be?
** Year five will be completely different - with the political backing of the Malfoys and other well-known families, the wizarding world will accept that Voldemort is back. Perhaps this will mean a different teacher than Umbridge, or, Umbridge training them for war ala Hitlers Youth.

Y5 had a lot of similarities as well. Y6 excised the big plot about the half-blood Prince and the Potions book, but other things like Professor Slughorn and Dumbledore's collection of memories were fairly intact. How similar much will Y5 be?
Y7 resemble the canon?

Dethryl is being very sneaky about what the ships are in this fic. He doesn't talk about how it's going to develop, so there's a lot of speculation as a result.

* If Harry tries to learn occlumency as he did in the cannon, his friendlier relationship with Snape will mean he will actually learn it this time round.
** Alternatively, Harry is just plain bad at occlumency.
** In the canon Draco had a small talent for occlumency. Without Bellatrix to learn it from, he will take the lessons with Harry. They will engage in a friendly rivalry about it - making them strive harder and harder to be better at it.

** Draco/Astoria is a possibility. It is cannon, and it would be interesting to see how Daphne would react to such a thing. However we haven't been properly introduced to Astoria in the TSH world yet, apart from a quick throwaway line.

* Harry's Animagus form: Is something that is small, furry, vaguely weasel like, and a predator. Harry's is a mongoose. Which makes for some fun symbolism. Mongooses kill snakes.
