Oh, I doubt it's an original idea. This sort of thing has been done before. The St. Elsewhere bit is a particular favourite of mine.
It's just, y'know, the specific images. Applying this to Harry Potter is...really bad.
Like, see. For example, Harry's relatives know that they really shouldn't bother him when he's going to his happy place.
(They can tell; that's when he sits on the floor rocking back and forth, making train noises.)
It's a pity about the neighbour's cat, though. They won't let the poor animal out of the house anymore, not after young Harry followed the creature
around all day calling it 'Professor'.
Oh, and yes, his broomstick is an actual broomstick.
Don't ask about Potions. Just don't.
On a similar token, Butterbeer is a yellow liquid. Try not to speculate where young Harry got that liquid, and what it actually might be.
Anyway, see, I actually admire folks like Shepherd, they can make...pretty cool and logical extrapolations from canon. My mind just goes in, uh, other
directions.
