I like this new not-James. All the outward appearance of just your average Hogwarts student, person in general really, but has those couple of quirks that make him stand out.Also his mother memory-wiping herself was great! Pity not that many Muggle-Borns followed her lead.

Cheers dude. I think he needs a few tweaks still; I kind of wanted him to have some darker undertones which haven't come through as strongly as I might have liked. We don't really have any manipulative or straight-up villainous characters (yet?!) but I think if we did, his weaknesses would be better exposed.
Long-term, his mother probably wouldn't have survived. She was just mildly harder to find than other muggle-borns - if Vloddermor had had more time, he'd have tracked her down eventually.
