History YMMV / MagicalDiary

** Professor Potsdam - is she an absent-minded laissze-faire administrator who prefers to let students control their own fates while being blind to the risks, or is she an AffablyEvil monster manipulating everyone to her own benefit? She certainly thinks nothing of putting Mary Sue in danger, and both Grabiner and Gary Stu suggest she has political motivations.

* IncestSubtext: It is possible for Mary to insinuate that Virginia is a little too fond of her brother William. ''[[WhatTheHellHero This does not go down well.]]'' Virginia and Ellen are both shocked and offended by the suggestion.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Damien, on multiple levels. [[spoiler: If Mary gets an ending with him, did she ''really'' turn him around with the PowerOfLove, or did he just sucker her one more time?]] If you get his worst ending, it's made pretty clear that he cares for Mary [[spoiler:and isn't just trying to steal her magic, since it's gone as a result of your broken promise. He could easily leave you to the wolves, yet he saves you instead.]] This only applies to ''Horse Hall''. In ''Wolf Hall'', [[spoiler:he's unambiguously evil no matter which ending you get]].

* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler:Ellen's family seems to gradually forget that she's important to them. So does yours. And this is considered the ''kinder'' option for preventing them from breaking the Masquerade.]]
** [[spoiler:Although, Ellen's route implies that her home-life was never super-happy to begin with. As for Mary Sue, it's somewhat up to the player to interpret how distant she becomes from her family; certainly, she doesn't seem to miss them very much once she becomes embroiled in the game's plot.]]
