No, I think I agree here. That's my point about James and Lily. They 
may be heroes for something they did earlier, but the events at GH 
don't make them heroes.

What if, instead, someone who hated the houseowner rescues the kids. 
Is he a hero?

Or someone who was once friends with one of the parents but can't 
stand the kids at all sees the fire and rescues the kids. Is he a 
hero? Wait, of course it's complicated because he's a former member 
of a gang of arsonists....

Kathy:
For what? btw, don't have my book, doesn't it say little Albus 
Severus is the most like Harry? I bet Heavenly Snape loves that!
