Harry's Godmother is Leah.... May he have a Godfather as well?
« on: February 02, 2018, 09:33:08 PM »
What are your thoughts?  If he was to have one, who do you think it would be? 
Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

A Godfather seems redundant with a Godmother.  They both do the same thing, yes?

Plus, Lea probably wouldn't care for the competition.

If he does, I imagine it'd be someone on Malcom's side, just for the symmetry.  That would also explain why Harry doesn't know about him.

Due to Lea's personality, I doubt there were any volunteers.

I was wondering recently about Lea and when we will find out who her progeny are.

I know I have wondered in the past about Lea being related to Harry via Maggie Sr and McCoy.  See the conversation between McCoy, Harry, Lea at the end of Changes.

No...  Well it depends.  I could see Jim thinking it funny, and very much with the lore for Harry to have a "fairy" godmother.  However in the religious tradition there is a godmother, and godfather.  I'm leaning towards the fairy godmother angle but a godfather seems possible as well.  If Maggie chose his godmother it would make sense that his father chose the godfather....  Perhaps Marcone?  It's like something from the Godfather movie which I could see Jim laughing at as well...  Also we could get a "Harry I am your godfather" with Harry screaming "nooooooooooooooooooo" Star Wars style.... 

We could also see that Marcone has appeared as an adversary to Harry but may actually have been trying to protect Harry in a twisted sort of way...  Like if he is his godfather but also bound to keep it secret.

Wouldn't it be really funny if it turned out that Cowl was Harry's Godfather?
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

No connection (for me as a reader) to Cowl...  So it would be underwhelming at this point.

No connection that we know of.  For all we know it could be someone Maggie Sr. asked to look over her son, before he'd gone dark side.

No I meant that I don't feel a connection as a reader to Cowl...  He hasn't had enough face time for me to feel connected enough to care.  Of course if it turns out another character we see more often is in fact Cowl that would change things for me.

Maybe I am reading something wrong; but, most times Cowl talks and acts like the angriest person on the planet. Except for when Harry summoned and contained the Erlking. Then, he was only sarcastic and maybe gave Harry a slight nod of approval. Just a passing thought.

the gatekeeper seems to pop up to help and look after dresden from time to time and he was friendly at least with maggie SR because of them both walking the ways so much.
i could see her asking him to look out for her son.
of course that would be a bit weird because he would have totally dropped the ball from age 6-16 and he doesnt seem to watch out for her other son.

edit: anyone with a normal set of morals wouldnt work because of how harry was left to suffer from 6-16 while leah probably just thought that being a unloved orphan was the perfect way to toughen him up before wizard training.

Justin was a respected member of the White Council, and a Warden.  It's doubtful that it was common knowledge that Harry was suffering.  As a matter of fact Harry wasn't really suffering I don't think.  It wasn't until the betrayal from Justin that Harry's world was turned upside down.

Point of Order but Justin didn't adopt Harry until his magic manifested at around 12- Before that he was languishing in the System for years.

Also, nobody in the council even knew Justin had an apprentice until he murdered the man and burnt his house down.
