I've been reading Pterry's Thud! Maybe the guy should consider Sidestepping onto Discworld and asking Sam and Sybil if Young Sam would like a foster brother. Anybody who's already read Thud! will know why I think Sam would make a foster parent who's right up there with many of his other candidates on the "can look after his loved ones" list.
And things could get fun if Uncle Carrot, Aunt Angua, and Uncle Detritus stop by Hogwarts for a visit.... I have a lovely vision of Detritus saying about the word "Mudblood" what he once said about "Ha'ak."
"I know dat word he said to her. It is not a good word. I do not want to hear dat word again." Cocking his siege crossbow....
Not to mention (OK, I'm mentioning it) that Sam now shares a quality with Harry, namely an odd and portentous scar. Just a little something that's good for father-son bonding....

Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
