My theory is that this is Rowling's awkward take on a complicated friendship. The relationships between the Marauders are all very weird, to be honest. Sirius obsessing over James, everyone being friends with Pettigrew for some reason, Sirius ruining Remus' life, everyone believing that Sirius is a Death Eater... nothing is right with these people.

But then the degree of wrong is not fundamentally different from the relationships between Dumbledore and Harry, Dumbledore and Snape, Lily and Snape, Harry and Ginny; and suddenly you realize that this is what is considered "normal" in this universe. And you aren't bothered anymore.

Wait... what? I can see how the first three relationships you mentioned were messed up, but what's weird about the relationship between Harry and Ginny?

[(Anonymous)]

1.) similarity between Ginny and Lily
2.) the possibility that his attraction to her was also influenced by his desire to be a part of the only functional family he's ever seen (the Weasleys)
3.) the fact that Ginny seemed to have no say in the naming of her children, for they all are names important to Harry in some way and less important to Ginny

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I can totally see Ginny not caring what they named their kids if it mattered more to Harry.

1) a tired argument. Other than being popular females who fall for Potter boys, they really have nothing in common. Hell, even the go to "They both have red hair!" is weak because ginger red is different from auburn red. And even if they did have the same hair, how many people with brunette parents are now with or have been with brunettes in their lives? Entire races are apparently weird now if that's the case.

If anything Ginny is more like James.

3) the fuck? Harry's gotten very little in life--a family being one of those things. He's lost pretty much everyone he's ever loved as a parental figure, and it's weird she'd let him name them after people he cared about instead of whatever flavor of the week trendy names at out there? Good to know if his kids were named Madison and Brayden then that would make their relationship "normal".

NA: I suppose the fact he was her first crush, which she held onto for several years although she went on a dating spree with several guys to get his attention/convincing herself she couldn't have him (impression I got from book 5 anyway), and then as he starts feeling attracted to her she suddenly reminds him a lot of his mother

[(Anonymous)]

She dated two guys in a span of two years. At least that's what I thought... I also don't remember Ginny reminding Harry of his mother. I don't think they even had much in common - Ginny's also a redhead, but that's not exactly uncommon in the UK.

I think Sirius obsessing after James is something that happens because of James' death and Sirius' guilt over the role he played in that as well as the fact that the Potters were Sirius' surrogate family in the same way the Weasleys were Harry's. It's not actually a reflection of how their relationship functioned when James was alive.

[inkdust]

This makes sense to me.

[dreemyweird]

Yep, it does make sense.

[(Anonymous)]

Then he had all that time in Azkaban to dwell on how his fuck up killed his best friend and his wife, leaving their kid an orphan.

I always saw Sirius and James as the sort of best friends that Harry and Ron were as well.

[silverau]

This is a good point. A lot of people are more obsessive over what they've lost.
