muccamukkBut first let's take a moment to discuss the theory that John Sheppard is, in fact, Harry Potter.
First, we have general appearance, mainly unruly black hair, striking green eyes and lean figure. No scar on John, but maybe he found a way to cover it up. John's also a bit too old, but I figure that defeating the Dark Lord by age seventeen has got to put a few lines on the face. Also, I see both time lines as somewhat flexible.
Second: they both possess a blatant disregard for authority and a streak of recklessness a mile wide.
Third: They both have a huge hero complex.
Fourth: They both love to fly more than just about anything else (also sports, though I've never heard Harry's position on ferries wheels).
Fifth: They're both kind of clueless around women.
Sixth: Absent parents (and John's past isn't something he talks about basically ever, and yeah, I haven't seen a lot of Season Four)
Seventh: They both have special powers (I'm totally willing to get behind Ancient gene = magic).
Now, unfortunately Harry doesn't quite have John's sarcasm, but he definitely shows signs of it in later books.
There is also the issue of nationality, but I figure Harry could be hiding. Or something.
I've seen it done in fic a few times, but never in a way that's really grabbed me.
