In this chapter, Lord Potter plays matchmaker and organises a trip to an amusement park. Voldemort? Who's he?

and yet somehow percy is the most sympathetic character in the whole fic. i want to hug him.

Not only is he the most sympathetic, he's the only one whose motivations don't run on moon logic. And I'm not even halfway through the fic yet, but I hope not to have quite as big a gap between chapters again.

Ah yes, the furry little problem. That was mentioned all of once in the books, specifically as something James used to say a lot, but nobody shuts up about it here.

Kinda like Harry calling Hermione "Mione" because Ron called her that once because his mouth was full, right?

A great chunk of fandom don't seem to understand the concept of a throwaway line.

Remus's werewolf powers (do Potterverse werewolves even have civilian powers?) are so strong that he can hop straight into other characters' heads. Must make the whole courtship thing easier, at any rate.

I guess ITWATN werewolves are now Meyerpires.

Except that Meyer has more respect for her readers' intelligence.

Last but not least, one of the very first things we ever learn about her in Order of the Phoenix is that she hates the name Nymphadora, so why's she using it in her own POV narration?

Because robst loathes Order of the Phoenix, hence why he's including elements of the books that he doesn't like in his Fix Fic.
