a) has been covered, but on a point of order, he didn't have that kind of relationship with either of the first two; Gally was an amnesiac foundling in his care and Laura was... uh... twelve. If she had stayed with him, things might have gotten more complicated as she grew up, but at the time, no.

Heh, I'm sure if it were put to her, Remilia would deny having a hand in it, but secretly believes that she did. Whether she's right, I prefer not to know. :)
