True. I think the difference between James (and even Lily) and Harry is what is so interesting. Harry is also kind of different from Lily, I think. She was shown as being quite unforgiving, while I think Harry is more ... flexible? He has been shown that the bad can be good and vice versa.
Hogwarts is definitely run like a private school. But are their state schools as well? They probably have a bit of like the Bafög programm (that's how it's called here). The state gives you the money so you can study at university. And if you leave with top grades you don't have to pay back. If you pay it back, you start 5 years after leaving universty and with no interest. Through that every child would go to Hogwarts. Also, in Harry's case it was mentioned that his parents paid "at his birth". Why would they do that? Maybe there is a reduction in price the earlier you pay?
Though, Lupin was the only werewolf child in Hogwarts. Why would Dumbledore allow one but not the others? True, there definitely was a scandal there, but let's be truthful it was also kind of obvious and no one had said anything before. So maybe it's something that doesn't exist as long as no one talks about it? Also, it seems that Dippet and Dumbledore both allowed 'half-breeds'.
I always thought that Merope was offered an Hogwarts spot, but that her father (brother/cousin/ ugh) turned it down in her steed.
It's a sweet pairing, with unavoidable tragedy. Barty/Regulus, the proof that love does not conquer all? <.<
Oh, now that's a nice thought. And makes those three artifacts even darker. You're giving me thoughts... I would love to see it myself. Or even better - a time travel to the Peverell area. Harry would be shocked, to see them as kind of Dark Lords/ necromancers. Wouldn't it be fun, if Harry would be the one to kill them all in the end instead of Death?
