Lesley:
I was under the impression that Harry was just having a father and
son moment with Albus and that the only information that Harry was
keeping quiet about was the fact that Harry chose to be in Gryffindor
over slytherin because if everyone knew they could do this then the
sorting hat would be without a job. I think Albus's middle name was
Severus becaus he was the only child that had Lily's eye's.
