He's even been paired with Tom Riddle (Lord Voldemort) on occasion. Not to mention had just about every level of abuse thrown at him and had Dumbledore and the Weasley's conspire against him in some of the fics. I still visit fanfiction.net often and use Calibre to save ebook copies of interesting stories to my computer.
Oh yes, I didn't think you were! I was just expanding on the idea of non-canon / not-likely-in-"book-reality" ships and why they may hold more appeal for some people than the canon pairings.

Poor Harry, yes - he can't catch a break.

Still, I'm not sure Harry/Voldemort is any stranger than Hogwarts/Giant Squid as a pairing.
