Ah, someone who can word it with much more grace than I. Thank you for this! I always thought it creepy to pair Harry with Ginny, even long before DH was a twinkle in our little fandom eyes, because of the striking similarities it bore to James and Lily - like he was looking for his mother. Which brings into play the whole Oedipus story with its questions of free will and destiny, which I think are highly applicable to Harry's universe, even if they are not really touched on in the books.

What I find interesting is that Harry really never seems to understand these things, even when he touches on them as in your piece. Even so many years later. It is his character, his being, to just pass over such things, to continue on with the circle - all is well.
