Why I Love Academia...
Best thing ever:

During a discussion of the Trojan War in my mythology class the professor mentions the hero and sidekick convention exemplifed by Achilles and Patroclus, dubbing the former as Achilles "special friend."

If that weren't coy enough, he goes on:

"That's why, in the Harry Potter books, I was sure Ron Weasley was going to die. He [Harry] was so clearly a Greek Hero and Ron was his special friend...*pause* Turns out Snape was his special friend."

FTW.
