My guess, going by year, would be that Crabbe is reading the then-latest issue of Preacher, chuckling at Garth Ennis' portrayal of Americans and wishing he had the Word of God and actual lines so as to tell Harry to go fuck himself... and watch him do just that.
Woooooooo, Garth Ennis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garth_Ennis)! :D Excellent choice. Hellblazer is another possibility; although Ennis stopped writing for the comic in '94, it was still wildly popular throughout the mid-late '90's.
Of course, had Voldemort simply killed Lily without giving her a chance to stand aside, no Pure Love would have protected Harry, so maybe Harry means that V only spares hot redheads.
Voldy does seem to go for the redheads, eh? He's already messed about (psychologically, anyway) with Ginny in CoS; while JKR has publicly stated that Ginny is definitely not possessed by Voldemort, I'm not convinced that means she's not somehow involved in Voldemort's plans to destroy Harry. It's fair to note that later in HPB, it's Harry who shows signs of possible possession (the "monster in the chest/stomach") and not Ginny. She's not a victim so much as a trigger or activator for these urges that come from within Harry but don't seem to belong to him.
