Line 17:
** A number of Snapefics have him referring to or thinking of his Slytherin students as his "little snakes", prompting a [[Heh Heh You Said X]] response from [http://szaleniec1000.livejournal.com/tag/little%20snakes many readers].
** Since Hermione's parents' names are never mentioned, fanfic writers have instead invented their own. Roger and Helen crop up frequently; [[Daniel Radcliffe|Dan]] and [[Emma Watson|Emma]] were common for a while, but have since dropped in popularity, probably after everyone figured out how cringe-inducingly meta it was. Then there was a wave of Rose and Hugo ('cause Hermione is just as creative as Harry is) and even a bit of Wendell and Monica (Hermione's probably clever enough not to give her parents' their real names as false names).
** Some of the very minor student character have been used as [[OC Stand In|OC Stand Ins]] enough to develop fanon personalities. Daphne Greengrass is an [[Ice Queen]], but free from pure-blood prejudice and at least slightly more sympathetic than Pansy. Tracey Davis is Daphne's best friend and is more easygoing. Padma Patil is the [[Sibling Yin
*** Since the only things known about Blaise before ''Half Blood Prince'' were his name and that he was in Slytherin (from the sorting ceremony in ''Philosopher's Stone''), many fans assumed he was a she -- and ''no one'' ever guessed he was black. Most Fem!Blaises were [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin|porcelain-skinned beauties of obvious Italian heritage]].
*** Minor Slytherin character Theodore Nott is also usually portrayed in fanfic as a close friend of Draco, despite [[Word of God]] saying that he is a loner who doesn't feel the need to fit in with Draco and his cronies.
*** Theodore, when given character development, ends up either the cruelest Death Eater out of all the Slytherins, or a sympathetic character that secretly sabotages the Death Eaters from the inside.
Line 64:
*** The names and personalities of Finrod's ten faithful elves (from [[Beyond the Dawn]]) and of the Nazgul (from [[Fanfic/The Great Game|The Great Game]], and no, they are different from the ICE version known to the West)
* Many fans of [[Philip Pullman]]'s ''[[His Dark Materials]]'' assumed that having a dæmon of the same sex indicated homosexuality. This is often considered truth nowadays by most fans, and when asked about the matter Pullman said that he'd never thought about it, but that [[Sure Why Not|he liked the idea]]. One wonders what a bisexual would have. A hermaphrodite dæmon ?
* ''[[Animorphs (Literature)|Animorphs]]'': Marco is gay. Notable because (since the characters themselves take turns narrating) the [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|numerous instances of the canon explicitly stating the opposite can be completely disregarded by accounting them to self-denial]].
** Neatly allows all the Animorphs to be paired up by putting Marco and Ax together instead of having two odd men out from the established Jake/Cassie and Rachel/Tobias couples. Marco and Ax are also each other's best friends after Jake and Tobias and briefly [[Heterosexual Life Partners|live together]] near the end of the series.
* ''[[Good Omens (Literature)|Good Omens]]'': That {{spoiler|Gadre'el}} is Crowley's [[True Name]].
