I think in a way it is the product of both but I do believe that nature plays a greater role than nurture does. To me the fact that Brandenn learned how to read when he was only 18 months old is incredible. And according to his parents they never pressured him to be an overachiever. I think prodigy children have an almost endless hunger for learning new things and are incredibly curious.
If a prodigy was the product of nurture than we definitely need to be careful how these children are raised and taught at at school, so we can prevent incidents like Brandenn's

How does a child of genius fit in the world of his peers or even of his parents?

I am having a hard time answering this question. I think really gifted children like Brandenn see and understand the world differently than you and me do. Finding a place and a group of friends must be incredibly hard since there are not a lot of like-minded people.
In addition I think parents of prodigy children often have a hard time understanding their child, which I would assume must be incredibly hard. I know my mom always tried to figure out her children, how me and my siblings think, what we like/dislike.
Gifted children sometimes can be real mysteries to the people around them, which probably leads to them feeling lonely and excluded.
