My first post was to disrupt the war crime known as Internet Nesting Quotes. As the thread had degenerated into nothing but INQ I killed the flow of the thread. From there I responded to the actual flow the thread had taken. Note it started off with someone else's comment being silly and about the last part of my post. (If your interested I can explain the war crimes comment.)
What Harry's familiar is is going to effect its survivability. I have a hard time seeing some Lost Boys not eating it, or at least trying to. If not that then tormenting it.
The pokemon thing was a throw away. Seriously. The Muggle World is Sir-Not-Appearing-in-this-Film. It has basically no purpose involving anything here. The pokemon comment could be any pop culture reference. It was an example. An example expanded upon, but a throw away example taken for being a driving force behind LB!Harry's intrest in this highly anti LB thought process known as paying attention in class. Your dropping a possiblely illiterate 6 year old (mentally and physically if not chronologically) into a highly boring and regimented place. One He Can't Leave... and rescess is against the wizarding religion as too, too Muggle. This is all about establishing a mind set for LB!Harry, without his personal mind set establish the rest is largely pointless to consider. This is the driving force for all the changes more than anything else.
On another note... will sending letters actually do anything? I mean if they can't read. Won't they be forced to drag Hook into things and capture a pirate and force him to read these squiggles? Even having Peter and Tinkerbell out on an adventure for a few days could lead to this... Swarms and swarms of owls bombing them with unreadable arcane gibberish for weeks. The Lost Boys may be forced to declare war on those terrorist owls.
