This essay about whether Slughorn is an ephebophile (hey, I learned a new word!) or not was posted today, which reminded me that I'd had mushy ideas about HP/Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came connections in the back of my mind. Which is why I'm posting here instead of replying - I'm not really sure which side of that question I come down on. Reminding us of "Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,/ And blew" would be a clever hint on JKR's part, but it's nowhere near proof.
However, there are several points where the poem reminds me of HP. They're mostly vague connections due to the common quest theme, ( but it's fun to look anyway. )
So it was fun, but I don't think we've really learned much, other than not to use your Slughorn inappropriately.
