The Symbols on the Fan-Site Award

[annemehr]

While checking out the new FSA, I noticed that the award itself has
four symbols on its shield: a book, a heart, a crystal ball, and a
lightning bolt. JKR must have had someting to do with this -- does
anyone suppose they are clues, or just obvious symbols from the books?
Some of each, maybe?

Suppose they all relate to how Harry defeats Voldemort. There's the
lightning scar, of course -- the connection to LV. Naturally. The
crystal ball brings the prophecy to mind. The heart could be for
what's behind the locked door at the DoM. And the book -- I don't
know, Hogwarts, a History? Maybe Harry'll finally crack it open and
learn something! :D

Or they could, maybe, symbolise people. So, the lightning bolt for
Harry, the book for Hermione...  Hmmm. Ron, now -- well, if he's a
seer as some theorise, the crystal ball works for him.  Which leaves
the heart to symbolise, what? The bond between them, maybe?  But if
Ron's not a seer, could he be the heart, then? "Heart" as in "courage"
such as he showed during the chess match in PS/SS and in the Shrieking
Shack in PoA. Which would leave the crystal ball. Dumbledore, who
foresaw and arranged so much?

'Course, none of this seems to have anything in particular with
commending the best fan sites, does it? Ah, well...
