He does, but she lent him to the first year she's only just met because they told each other of their tragic pasts, in Jamie's case that she'd not even told her best friends who are closer than the Trio. Which all makes total sense. He drives away her traumatic nightmares, semi-literally as she dreams of riding a unicorn. "Chase your dreams!" indeed.
I was riffing on Marcus Cole's musing on Arthurian parallels in Babylon 5 (itself a parody of some of the wilder speculation about the series doing the rounds on USENET at the time) but there's a serious question at the heart of the joke. If Harry is Lancelot and Hermione is Guinevere, then it stands to reason that Arthur would be Ron or possibly Draco. The analogy kind of breaks down given that they're peripheral at best to the (for lack of a better term) plot. Ron is treated with barely disguised contempt which gets even more barely disguised as the series goes on; Neil can't seem to decide whether to do the same with Draco, or make him a Trilogy rip-off, or just turn him flat-out evil.

Ah yes, that makes sense. I was just making a random Fate/Stay Night reference. (That entire game is less disturbing than HE, including the Heaven's Feel route with the lust worms.)
