- Esoteric Happy Ending: Harry flying away as a phoenix is apparently supposed to be a happy ending. There is no mention made of the impact this would have on the war against Voldemort. Besides, what kind of life is Harry going to lead as a phoenix? Isn't he going to miss his friends?
- Harsher in Hindsight: "What did Dumbledore know about pain? He had no idea what it was like. He had probably had a perfectly normal life." This was written some three years before Dumbledore's tragic Back Story was revealed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
- It Was His Sled: It's not really possible to even describe the story without mentioning that it ends with Harry jumping out the window and turning into a phoenix. Otherwise, it's just the canon scene with different wording.
