Me:

Ooh, Taryn, you stole my thunder, but I couldn't have said it better.  When I 
read Marina's original post I immediately drew the parallel between Javert 
and Riddle/Voldemort.  And the Dursleys and the Thenardiers--it's just too 
perfect!  Eponine Thenardier grew up to be a pretty decent person, so that 
gives me some hope for Dudley Dursley.  But you you imagine there being a 
romantic rivalry between Dudley and Harry falling for the same girl, like 
Eponine and Cosette with Marius!?  Hmmm...when Voldy War II starts up, I'll 
be on the lookout for a hot young female revolutionary.  LOL.
