If this has been brought up before, I apologize, but it struck me as
odd.
If someone was *sending* a Valentine to Harry, be it Ginny or the
twins, wouldn't they have written it *to* him?
"His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad" would have been "Your
eyes are as green..." and "His hair is as dark as a blackboard"
would be "Your hair..."
See what I mean? I have puzzled over this and the best I can come up
with is that Ginny doodled it on spare parchment and Fred and George
seized the opportunity to poke some fun without taking the time to
change it.
Any other thoughts?
Ginger
