I researched a few of Harry's classmates before settling on Ernie. Mostly, in fanfic, people tend to use OC for future DADA teachers...but I think we've been conditioned to believe all OC DADA teachers are evil, and I didn't want that to happen.
And yeah, Neville is blond - we lose these things when we watch the movie adaptations. I'm sure there are a couple of things in my stories that are movie specific by accident, but I do try to keep it book-canon.
I'm glad you liked the Teddy POV. I quite like his little friends too. :) I'm also glad you are liking my take on Teddy - hopefully you continue to do so!
I love the Teddy-Harry dynamic. They've got both a father-son dynamic, and a friend dynamic going.
