> Could you explain what you mean by "no one else was around to care"? Surely all the older generation on the platform remembered Snape vividly. And we all know how obsessive fans are (who, us?) -- those people gawking at Harry on the platform will surely know every detail of their hero's  life that's a matter of record, including what he named his son and why.

Potioncat:
What I meant was that Harry did this for Snape, but Snape wasn't around to know about it. None of Snape's family was around. So Harry repaid Snape, but Snape would never know. Does anyone alive care that Harry did this?  Probably not. Yet, many people would know what Harry Potter's son was named and would realize the role Snape played. It was a meaningful gesture on Harry's part.
