Good fun with Petunia's present!
Mary stating her hope that Harry doesn't 'get together' with his mother made me think a little. Weird how part of me wants to start looking for signs of romance between Harry and his friends ... when they're only eleven years old!! And I'm the one who usually complains - or goes Ewwww - when you have them perform sexual acts at 15 or 16 years of age! I hereby retract my slight push to have Harry be attracted to either Diana (who's out of the running anyway, from what you presented in this chapter) or Lily. :-)
Interesting small mystery about the fate of the Potter parents in the original (and maybe this) timeline.
