Juli: There IS a parallel, Jo said so. She wanted a *new* Harry, sort 
of. He wanted a new orphan, a way to show how vicious LV was. But 
Teddy, unlike Harry, grew up with his loving grandmother, he's got a 
cool godfather who he visits often. He may be an orphan, but he 
doesn't in no way a childhood like Harry did. He is loved and 
cherished. It is also said somewhere in DH that he isn't werewolf-ish 
at all, he's a pure wizard, a methamophing wizard.

As for writting a new Potteresque novel about Teddy, perhaps, you 
never know, but personally I don't think so. Teddy isn't The Boy Who 
Lived, his life was never in 'danger', neither the DEs or Voldemort 
were out to get him. He's probably just another cool kid in the 
Wizarding world with extremely cool powers.
