I just realized something, and only three people shall probably get this.
The Harry Potter Trio (Harry, Hermione and Ron) are almost exact replicas of the Legion of Super-HEroes founders (Cosmic Boy, Satrun Girl and Lightning Lad).
Think about it.
Saturn Girl is fiercly intelligent and something of a rules stickler, Lightning Lad is hot-headed and impulsive (and, actually, something of a wimp. And things just seem to keep happening to him.), ad Cosmic Boy is the consumate leader, smart, rather cool-headed but with an intensity and passion that comes through.
And they look like each other.
Ron/Garth - red-headed and tall. Hermione/Imra - dirty blonde hair (at least in Imra's first appearance) and Harry/Rokk - brunette and pretty.
Does this make Dumbledore actually R.J. Brande? The all-powerful/rich headmaster/founder??
And what about Draco? Who would he be? Sun Boy? McCauley? Ultra Boy?
Neville is definitely Bouncing Boy. Cho is Shadow Lass, Justin is Element Lad, Seamus is Matter-Eater Lad, Dean is Colossal Boy, and Ginny is Shrinking Violet.
Interesting, was Rowling a comic book reader? Do we know?

I'm only missing 15 issues in my collection going back to their fourth appearance.

Thank god for Archives, they were worth the investment for those first two volumes.
