Right. Given the way in which we see Pyramid Head treating Mannequins, I think we must assume that it has something akin to masculine reproductive organs. And, according to some really freaking disturbing fanfiction I've seen, it is also in the habit of impregnating Mary Sues. So Squall was the result of one of these bizarre unions.
During a time in which the 'fairies' were around and so Kiros had Diablos equipped, it sent him and Ward to Silent Hill in order to find the baby Squall and bring him back to their world, because otherwise it wouldn't have been freed from the Magical Lamp. Pyramid Head, knowing that the child was actually Squall due to some particularly helpful graffiti, gave him to them itself. Because of that, it's really no wonder that they say it's a good thing that Squall doesn't look like his father. Raine adopted the young Squall shortly before dying in childbirth; the child, mistakenly thought to be Squall, also died.
The question is, of course, why Quistis would have wanted Squall taken to the FFVIII world if,

During Harry's third year, Mrs Norris, after serving Filch for a very long time, began to tire of him; she wanted to be out there taking over the world (cats are ambitious creatures, after all), whereas he only seemed to want excuses to put students in detention. Frustrated, she stalked off through Hogwarts, and eventually came across Hermione's Time Turner. She didn't know what it was, but she was fascinated by the shiny swingy thing on a chain (as cats so often are), began to bat at it and managed somehow to travel back in time to when Tom Riddle, a very nice young man, was just leaving Hogwarts

I think we can all agree, first of all, that Saruman's apparent desire to lock Gandalf up in his house and never let him go was highly suspicious. Gandalf only objected to staying there because he was distressed by Saruman's apparent change in personality. His becoming 'Gandalf the White' was a form of mourning for his former lover, who, he felt, had 'died' when he became Saruman the Many-Coloured. He believed that the White Saruman lived on in his garments, in a sense.
Also, it's been a very long time since I saw the movie, but I seem to recall one of them breakdancing in front of the other during that big fight. Breakdancing is obviously some sort of mating ritual in Middle-earth. We know this because there was very little breakdancing in the movies, and also very little sex. MY ARGUMENT IS FLAWLESS.
(spoilers for Harry Potter, Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello and Romeo and Juliet.)
Well, the thing we notice in Shakespeare's tragedies - or at least, the four that I've read - is that everyone dies. Everyone. Usually a few people die during the course of the play, and then the main character and almost all of the major characters left over die in the last scene.
So yeah, in the 'acts' or 'books' that we have had, there has been a buildup of deaths - Cedric, Sirius, Dumbledore. These are the equivalent of, say, Mercutio and Tybalt, dying in Act Three before Paris, Romeo and Juliet die in Act Five. So we can assume that Harry Potter, despite its humour, is a tragedy - it follows the tragic structure, has dark themes, has relatively few awful awful puns et cetera

Overall, the books are more about death than love, although love does play a role. In Shakespeare's tragedies, the theme of love tends to manifest itself as the love between men - the love between Hamlet and Horatio, for example; the love of a man for his King (which ambition, admittedly, can overthrow); the love that Othello mistakenly perceives as existing between himself and Iago, which is stronger than and so destroys the love he possesses for Desdemona. Generally, the love between Shakespeare's male characters seems more real than that between male and female characters - Hamlet, although he claims to have loved Ophelia after her death, seems to treat her very badly when she is alive; however, he is always close to Horatio. As I have said, Othello's belief that Iago loves him is stronger than his belief that Desdemona does. Romeo and Juliet 'fall in love' immediately, barely speak to each other, agree to get married the next day and kill themselves for their 'love' when actually they barely knew each other at all - this seems to

I could ask you to prove that I'm Squall's father.
