** Harry is initially distinctly unamused by James/Thor's absence from his life until the start of the story, demanding an explanation. Given that Thor's [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou reason]] was that a) traumatic death in mortal form drove him nuts, necessitating b) his memories being blocked, and he booked it to Earth literally the moment he got them back (and wasn't remotely pleased about the mind-wipe), he's pretty forgiving and more than willing to accept freely offered love from a very good parent. To Odin, who blocked those memories and forbade any mention of it, for fear of Thor snapping back into that madness until he'd cooled off, less so - and while Harry does come around, he's always a bit frostier towards his grandfather.

*** Peculiarly, however, she gets on rather well with her biological grandfather, Magneto.

** John Constantine is in Wanda Maximoff's eyes to their daughter, Hermione Granger. She has excellent reason to think this, given what he pulled with the Zataras.
** Hermione, in turn, has a very complicated view of her biological mother when she discovers the truth, which boils down to 'I don't want you or the superpowers I inherited from you' and 'why didn't you want me?'. She was perfectly happy just being Hermione Granger, being very HappilyAdopted and fiercely resents the upheaval in her life, but she also bitterly resents the fact that Wanda had to be openly strongarmed into getting involved in her life before this point, while being an admittedly very much needed loving ParentalSubstitute to her godson, Harry, leading to perceptions of ParentalFavoritism. The short answer why is ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies, a desire to make a clean break/not draw attention to Hermione, and while both children are loved equally (... probably), due to a confluence of factors, Harry is probably ''easier'' for Wanda to love.

* In Fanfic/CodeGeassThePreparedRebellion, Milly actually refers to her father Roderick as such [[spoiler:on the eve of the assassination of him and his wife]], since she hated him the first time that she saw him and Melisande, as neither of them had any real interaction with her at all for ''years'' after she was born, leaving her to her grandfather and the servants. Her opinion of her mother is even ''lower''.

* A justified example of this happens in ''ComicBook/{{Katmandu}}'', when Markree, the younger brother of the main protagonist Liska, had to basically play this role in order to give her elder sister's [[GirlsLove wives]] children. The justification runs with the fact that none of Liska's wives want to have children with either of the latter's male mates, and also the fact that the setting takes place in their world's equivalent of the 18th century, and as such, they don't have other modern methods to conceive children.
