- "My wife and I were just about to have a child. Lily even came up with a name, Harry. (It’s after her grandfather Henry). She said something like that she would like our son to be as brave and merciful as her great-grandfather. He participated in something that muggles call "the First World War" and saved many lives. I can’t see how anything in war can be merciful, but maybe the muggle’s one is a bit of a different kind. I don’t know, as I thought that the Muggle Studies were too dull for someone as cool as me. Now I regret it a bit, but still... Literally, I didn’t want Harry to take part in any kind of war. That’s why I became an auror and later joined the Order of Phoenix. For my son will not need to see all that horror. But, saying only to you, I would never want to do that, if that was only me. If I didn’t have Lily, Padfoot, Moony and Wormtail, I would escape. Huh, I know. Not the very Gryffindor action. It will be rejected till the end, but Snivellus was right. Houses are such a childish thing. We should overcome it. The irony is that right now he is the one who bint up in that system the most."
