* {{Deconstruction}}: This comic goes with the idea that Dumbledore's idea to send Harry to be raised by his remaining biological family was horribly misguided, leading to Harry living in an abusive household for 10 years. His time at Hogwarts and learning memory reading magic in addition to school bullying and learning revelations about his past and Voldemort's influence over the lives of everyone causes Harry to go down a dark path.

** The authors note for Page 91 points that International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, a system that basically forces new Hogwarts students not to tell anyone about their new lives and leave their friends behind is rather similar to abusive relationships. It also mentions that the system is discriminatory towards Muggle-born students simply because they lack the innate advantages that a magic-born child possesses, and are expected to adapt to a social system they have no proper understanding of.



* {{Irony}}: The authors notes for Page 89 mentions that Dumbledore used mind magic to shut down Mrs Cole's questions about Hogwarts, which tends to be in line with how a good chunk of Harry Potter fanfiction tends to make Dumbledore far more morally ambiguous, and gives him a hefty case of GoodIsNotNice. As the author points out, they find it ironic that they had to make Dumbledore [[AdaptationalNiceGuy a nicer person]] for their story to work when other Harry Potter goes the [[AdaptationalJerkass opposite direction]].

Added DiffLines:

* GodwinsLaw: Averted. The author specifically went out of their way to avoid using the "Wizard Hitler" comparison for Voldemort on Page 43, instead deciding to have Lily compare Voldemort to the IRA instead.
