exartiem:
Harry does refer to Vadderung as "Thunder's Father".  Could Vadderung actually BE Thor?  After Ragnarok, the ending of their world, they reestablished here as mortals?

--- Quote ---In Norse mythology, Thor is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind, and also hallowing, healing and fertility. The cognate deity in wider Germanic mythology and paganism was known in Old English as Žunor and in Old High German as Donar, stemming from a Common Germanic *Žunraz.

Vadderung isn't a precise word but it comes back in Germanic as 'shifting, transferring" as well as Hereditary or inheritance. So Thor's likely... or Thor's son. I still see a mesh up of Greek into Norse mythos. An inheritance happened there somewhere the same as Hecate=Fae hierarchy.

Griffyn612:
Donar = Thor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donar_(disambiguation)
Vadder = Father
-ung suffix = -ing suffix https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ung

The name translates to "Thor Fathering".  An apt name for Odin, who fathered Thor.

Except you'd be hard pressed to find Odin associated with the weather in any mythology.
--- Quote ---Odin is often associated with lightning in the franchise, but in mythology he is never mentioned as a god of lightning or the sky, unlike his son Thor.
