Line 12:
** Probably unintentional, but Hufflepuff Zacharias Smith should not be confused with a more lovable dirty coward, who both older and a Doctor. [[Lost in Space|Doctor Zachary Smith.]]
{{quote| "[[Freakazoid|Hey, weren't you in that show with the Robot?]]"}}
** It's got to be a coincidence, but the murderer in the 1933 [[Ellery Queen]] short story "The Adventure of the Seven Black Cats" is named Harry Potter. His name is, in fact, the last two words of the story.
* The [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe]] Eighth Doctor Adventures feature a character named Trix MacMillan. Sound familiar? It's almost exactly the same as the real name of Trillian from [[The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]: Tricia McMillan. It's especially interesting as both series are British scifi and somewhere on the sillier side of the [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]]. As Trix MacMillan is merely an alias, this may in fact be a case of [[Character Name Alias]], although this is never brought up by anybody.
** Could be a [[Shout Out]]. Douglas Adams was the script editor for Dr. Who for a while according to [[The Other Wiki]].
