   Oh boy this could get a lot worse than "Philosophy for Kids"  I 
did a little bit of background research on the off chance that this 
is for real.
First Tidbit:
Father Pavel Florensky's "The Pillar and Ground of Truth" identifies 
2 possibilities for storge: marriage and brotherly adoption.  (take 
that and run with it where you may, I have no comment)

Second Tidbit concerning relation to books 2 and 5:
Charles Williams creates a system of virtues in pairs.

Pair 1 = the Lion and the Lamb "and the lion will lie down with the 
lamb" neither will have autonomy following the completion of this 
biblical prophesy.  Ginny Weasley and Tom Riddle COS

Pair 2 = the Serpent and the Phoenix, the Phoenix represents earthly 
love (storge), while the Serpent represents a seal of silence and 
knowledge of discretion.  Definitely a realization of relationships 
in OOtP

Pair 3 = the Horse and the Unicorn, the Horse is speed with out 
direction and the Unicorn is purity.  The Unicorn must direct the 
Horse towards its goal or the lack of direction will have the Horse 
running towards the gates of Hell
Interesting . . . eh?
Just as a note Williams last virtue is lacking a mate . . . it is the 
Butterfly, whose awesome majesty and beauty absorb his character (Mr 
Tighe) completely and bodily.
