* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
** This story is because of it -- in ''Fanfic/OhGodNotAgain'', where the author’s interpretation of ''Gilderoy Lockhart'' actually turned him into a fan favourite, leading to the authorship of this story where Lockhart is even more nuanced.
** It seems that, [[spoiler:even with all his memories erased]], [[TheSociopath Professor Quirrel is still a bastard]]. On the other hand, all things considered, [[spoiler:post-Obliviation]] [[BigBad Voldemort]] doesn't seem all that bad -- with some fans feeling that [[spoiler:Obliviating him and having him live out a new, better life]] is actually a more interesting, more compassionate way of defeating him than the canon one.
* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Not only does the author create a likable Lockhart, she also manages to make Rita Skeeter tolerable.
