Which leads me to another question, which I've always wanted to incorporate 
into a crossover fanfic, but have never had the time to do...

Given that we know that when Harry became orphaned, James' parents were dead, 
is it possible that they were killed by a runaway rhino when he was ickle, 
and he was then sent to live with his aunts, Spiker and Sponge, and then 
escaped in a giant peach to NYC, thanks to a bag of magic seeds given him by 
Dumbledore, and that Dahl was just protecting his wizarding education when he 
ended the book by saying that James Trotter (small change from his real last 
name) was living in the peach pit in NYC?

Well? It could happen...if the wizarding world, and Dalh's universe, were 
both real...
