Oooh, never noticed that at all. Very nice parallel indeed. Not just on how
dangerous it is for a 10 year old girl to pour her heart out to a stranger,
but how you don't always get the whole picture. When Tom showed Harry the
flashback, Harry thought that Hagrid was responsible for opening the Chamber
of Secrets, when actually he was seeing Hagrid being framed. Think of some
people you may have met in real life who weren't as they appeared online.

>From my personal experience, the only person who turned out to be
significantly different in real life was a woman who was a bit psycho.  But
I've heard stories of men who've stepped off the plane 200 pounds heavier
than the picture they sent, etc.
