Magpie:
Or else he could have figured it out sooner because without Voldemort 
vaporizing nobody would have mistakenly thought he was dead. They 
might have said, "Hey, I killed him with an AK and he died but now 
he's back. He's found some way to stay alive after death...is there a 
magic for that?" You don't have to be somebody's equal to deliver a 
killing blow. I mean, of course the story couldn't have happened the 
way it did if we change the story as it is, but the possibilities are 
endless for what could have happened instead. Some are better than 
what actually happened and make Harry happy and alive, some are worse 
and make him unhappy and dead.

Magpie before:

Just
as even if Harry Potter had never existed, Ginny Potter could still
have gotten married even though in canon the only person she marries
in canon. 

Magpie now:
Let me just fix that bizarre sentence while I'm here. I meant:

Just as if Harry Potter had never existed, Ginny WEASLEY could still 
have gotten married even though in canon the only person she marries 
IS HARRY POTTER.
