* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: While Dumbledore is not particularly manipulative, he did seem eager for Snape and Harry to possibly get along. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Then it actually happened]], at least from Harry's end.
** The author also takes a few potshots at the wizarding world in general (though the most grievous to Harry is [[FelonyMisdemeanor lack of ramen]]) and ''especially'' the setup of the Twiwizard Tournament. Aka: If this is about inter-school unity, why are we competing ''against'' each other?
** The Slytherins are made more tolerable through Harry's power of Icha-Icha. Draco even saved Harry once so he'd stop owing Harry his life for the Hippogriff incident.
* CrossoverShip: Anko and [[spoiler: Sirius]].
