Trivia / The Parselmouth of Gryffindor

• Fandom Nod:
  • And why do you suppose Dumbledore can "simultaneously say something calmly and yell it"? Doubles as an Ascended Meme, of course.
  • Hermione considering the "ghastly possibility" that Draco might be in love with her.
  • The Shout Outs to Large Pile of Ash.
  • Chapter 50 shows that Harry never wants to wear his wizard's hat. This reflects the way that the Harry Potter fandom tends to intentionally "forget" that the Hogwarts uniform includes a wizard's hat because everyone thinks it looks too tacky.
• Milestone Celebration: Chapter 50 is something of a Wham Episode: Harry and Snape see Lily again thanks to the Resurrection Stone, and it ends on the Cliffhanger of Mad-Eye Moody announcing that “Azkaban has fallen”.
