Oooh, you know, I was so eager to read through this I missed the nuances in Harry & Ginny's confrontation. Heck, I missed the *entire bit* where she said he's been having disturbed dreams for years. Her motivations make a lot more sense now.
Actually, now that I've gone back to reread it, it's amazing how much can be inferred from that one scene, about Harry's family life, his relationship with Ginny and Lily, how Ginny must have resented and struggled against his obliviousness, and this would probably have affected the children too. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it gives a disquieting aspect to Harry's tragedy, that even if there was no potion, things would have come to a head in the Potter family somehow.
As you can see, I'm thinking about this too much :) Again, great story.
