Why is $J_n$ not symmetric, for $n\notin\mathbb Z$, while Bessel's equation is still symmetric?

Bessel's equation, $$x^2y''+xy'+(x^2-n^2)y=0,$$ has even parity, regardless of the value of $n$. So a solution of this equation must be even or odd. However, the Bessel functions $J_n$, which are solutions of that equation, have no symmetry when $n$ is not an integer. Why is that?
