I will more or less second Pippin's recommendation about the Julian May
books, although I began with the second part of the series - Surveilance &
Intervention, followed by the Galactic Milieu trilogy, which I liked a lot
more. It's much nicer when Marc Remillard is a good guy, not a megamaniacal
psychopath. He'd probably get on well with Draco (the jkr canon draco, I
mean), and Lori's PoU Harry would have a great afternoon drinking with Jack
sans le Corpse (did I spell that right?)
