Ginny  falling in love because they met at Kings Cross Station, in 
honour of  her own parents' love story.  In fact the author's 
emotional  commitment to the place is what makes me think that this 
is what will  happen and I understand and respect that.  But is it OK 
if Harry  marries his Mum?   What do other people think?


Me:
Well, Harry never knew his Mom.  Heck, he never knew what his mom 
looked like until he was 11.  So I don't think it really is the same 
thing at all as when a regular man marries someone who looks, speaks, 
and acts like his mother.  And there are a lot of small, redhaired 
girls in the world.  I think it would be even more weird if Harry 
avoided dating any of them because they might sort of maybe look just 
a little bit like his mother. Also, Ginny has brown eyes, and Lily, 
as we all know, had green.
  So in sum, no, I don't think it would be weird at all.  Now if 
Harry does turn out to date Susan Bones, and Susan Bones turns out to 
have red hair and green eyes, then I might start to wonder about JKR. 
But at this point, and with Ginny, it's all good to me.
