Added DiffLines:

* {{Foil}}: Quite the amount.
** Jean-Luc [=LeBeau=] and Dumbledore grew interested in the same child after hearing a prophecy (the Boy-Who-lived destroying the Dark Lord, le Diable Blanc uniting the Guilds) and took steps to control said kid. The old wizard chose to consciously ruin Harry's childhood, the guildmaster opted to raise Remy as his son.
** Remy bears striking similarities with Jean Grey in his struggles with a power growing too soon and too strong. But where Xavier manipulated Jean to dampen her potential without her consent or knowledge, the professor is more open towards Remy.
** Emil Lapin is very much the GoodCounterpart to Dudley Dursley, as he genuinely loves his cousin instead of acting TheBully.
