Is a lazy potato, as in, loves to lie down and do nothing on his day offs

Lily is his secretly favourite child and his joy.

In the initial weeks after war it was Teddy who gave him hope.

Kept all the letters sent by his loved ones even if they're normal ordinary ones.

Wears his Order of Merlin only when it's very necessary otherwise he keeps it somewhere in a corner of a dark cabinet.

Sort of a fun parent.

Though his "fun" is doing completely riskfree stuff so the kids consider Ginny the fun parent.

Doesn't get angry if the kids break something.

But freaks out if they actually do something dangerous

Wears his wedding band all the time.

The birth of his kids instilled him with some self-preservation.
