Jun. 14th, 2004 09:26 pmRight. I'm catching up on what's been going on in the fandom recently, and a movie-based theory seems to be floating around, which I do find quite amusing: Remus was in love with Lily. (And possibly vice versa.)
While I'm by no means opposed to an occasional Remus/Lily fic (seeing as I rather like het!Remus, and there aren't many female candidates to pair him off with), I so don't see it happening in canon. Having read movie spoilers before I went to see the film, I was prepared for the Remus-talks-about-Lily-scene and was curious as to how it went. But: From what I recollect, Remus was going on about Lily's eyes and how she used to be able to see people's true selves (or something along these lines; I only watched the film once), and we know, as Rowling has stated explicitly it many, many times, that the fact that Harry's got Lily's eyes will become very important in future books. Indication of true-yet-unfulfilled love? Hardly. More likely an indication of the importance of Lily's role in Harry's future life and career.
Incidentally, I love non-fandom people's theories on HP. My boss wanted to know the other day how I think the series will end, and contributed the - as I find - charming theory that Ron is going to die and return as zombie warrior fighting on Voldemort's side. I so can see this happen on ff.net...
