The odd tragicomic misadventures of young August the overgrown wild child would really be amusing to see (among other back stories of the other characters), too bad it's unlikely that we'd see more of that.

Assuming he develops quickly (I'm not even sure if his growth stages are the same as that of a regular human, considering that his mind is rather advanced early on), if he survives natural hazards, either he has superhuman endurance and durability even as a child, or he has passive magic defenses (which only makes his current predicament at the artificial hands of Gildarts even more silly)
