* Snape seems to hate "Potter's Gang" irrationally, even if [[spoiler:Harry reminds him of how he lost Lily]]. "Potter's Gang" is comprised of four people: Harry, Ronnie, Neville and Hermione. [[spoiler:The Marauders, who often bullied Snape, were four: James, Sirius, Peter and Lupin, and their leader, James, went on to marry Lily. Of course the parallels would be brought even closer for him.]]
** It goes further than that, since each member of Potter's Gang is [[spoiler:similar, on a superficial level, to one of the Marauders despite two being girls (and Snape not looking past these traits due to his bitterness) -- Harry is like James, Ronnie is rather like Sirius in being his best mate, Hermione is bookish and sensitive like Remus, and Neville is a lot like Peter (if braver within and far less likely to turn traitor as a result).]] Hagrid is actually alluding to this very fact when he brings up [[spoiler:the Marauders, and how badly they interacted with Snape.]]
** Also, Ronnie, who spends a lot of time with Harry even if they [[PlatonicLifePartners aren't like that]], is a spunky but compassionate red-headed girl. Just like Lily.
* Maybe accidental from the author's part, but ''Veronica'' is a flower genus, and its meaning is "faithfulness". For a sidekick, loyalty is an absolute must-to.
** It also furthers the resemblance with ''Lily'' Evans.
