It is an Attack Hug

An accountant in the making with a blog that involves things from Harry Potter to Zombies. Go figure. Also you should know, I'm a Hufflepuff.

I have this theory that Neville is supposed to represent everything that Peter could have been. You know, both of them were the weak link in the friend group, the guy easily influenced. But instead, Rowling made Neville weak to prove the two paths an individual could take. How each of our weaknesses manifest in different ways. Peter’s weakness made him a villain, ultimately worse than Voldemort because he betrayed his friends, while Neville’s weakness made him work harder and in the end made him Harry’s strongest ally.

Harry = James, Ron = Sirius, Hermione = Remus, Neville = Peter, Ginny = Lily, Luna = Snape. 

You will notice that none of the six from the old generation survived. The kids each have traits from the old generation but they’re here to fix the past, and thus must survive the series to metaphorically right the past. Some may raise their eyebrows at Luna as Snape, but just as Harry represents James (the popular kid who was good at quidditch, but didn’t become arrogant like his father) or like Peter and Neville (two people who could have been cowards, but Neville rises to life’s challenges) Luna mirrors Snape in being mocked, a pariah, Looney Lovegood and Snivellus. Instead of being resentful, she rose above it, and loved herself regardless. 

If you went with Harry to the Ministry of Magic in book 5, you mattered beyond just backing him up against Voldemort. This core six represented the loss and failure of the Marauders generation, and the hopes of a post-Voldemort future.

Holy shit

WAIT!

Might I suggest every single thing from the above except

Harry = Sirius

Ron = James

Harry was the boy who grew up in an unloved house that was neglectful at best, abusive at worst, but eventually went to Hogwarts, was sorted into Gryffindor despite the odds of being in Slytherin, and found a new family in a group of friends.

Ron was the brave adventurous boy who grew up in a loving household (that was pureblood but quirky/uninterested in social norms), a boy who took in this raggedy abused kid as his brother, a boy whose family accepted said brother as one of their own without hesitation. (And on the ‘foil’ side, Ron represents the opposite of James as well, being a self-conscious poor kid compared to James’ arrogant rich side. Two sides of the same coin.)

ONE MORE THING

Might I also suggest:

Hermione = Lily

Ginny = Remus

Hermione is the smart, intelligent, quick witted girl from a Muggle family that the most bigoted of the purebloods look down on and ridicule because of race and outright jealousy. She’s the brightest witch in her generation, despite more ‘humble’ beginnings and is able to win the admiration of all her teachers without letting it change who she is as a person. She’s also the social crusader (S.P.E.W. anyone?) and drawn to outsiders because of her own feeling of not belonging due to how her intelligence and muggle birth sets her apart. She sees value in those from non-traditional households and backgrounds because she herself fits into that category.  

Ginny is the girl from a loving family whose father worked at the ministry of magic and due to that connection, came in contact with an evil power that psychologically and physically damaged her in a way that made her an outcast among her peers and severely hindered her ability to form friendships while under it’s influence. The effects of such contact last her lifetime (the trauma of sharing Voldemort’s mind? HUGE), even if the narrative doesn’t focus on them the way it does with Remus. In fact, her experience of being an outcast leads her to reach out to the one person who is even more marginalized than her (Luna) in a way that Remus was unable to do because Severus wouldn’t let him in (which intersects with Luna being what Severs was not).
