Annemehr's most cherished predictions

STONED!HARRY --- Annemehr's variant

I have always had a liking for the Stoned!Harry theory, and posted my 
own take on it once:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/51832

The heart of it is this:
===============================
Back in post #38542, Caroline, in a stroke of brilliance, looked up
the philosopher's stone in "The Dictionary of Symbols" (Penguin,
1994), and came up with the following:

The philosopher's stone, in RL alchemy, was considered to be made of
Sulpher + Mercury, and they were symbolized thus:
Sulpher: stag, phoenix, lion, the color red.
Mercury: serpent, unicorn, the color green.
(The stone itself was called cinnabar and was symbolized by dragon's
blood).

In art, the creation of the philosopher's stone was symbolized by the
coming together of a stag and a unicorn.

My own take on the theory is this:

Perhaps James and Lily are *both*
represented in the sulpher component, and it is Voldemort who is
represented in the mercury component, thus:

Sulpher: red (Gryffindor, James and Lily's Hogwarts House)
stag - James; phoenix - Lily (possibly to be better explained
in OoP, and also maybe that in her death she gave Harry
life), and of course, the lion (Gryffindor again).

Mercury: green (Slytherin, Voldemort's house), the serpent (slytherin
again), and the unicorn.

How do we reconcile a pure and innocent unicorn being part of
Voldemort's role in this? I propose that in his many magical
experiments and transformations that Dumbledore refers to Tom Riddle
undergoing after leaving Hogwarts, that one or more of them involved
using unicorn blood to try to achieve immortality.

I think that Harry was not *born* as the living philosopher's stone.
I think that he *became* one on the night that Voldemort tried to AK
him but failed, *transferring some of his powers* -- and *essence* --
to Harry that night.
=========================

Later on I go on to include way more Christian symbolism than I now 
think is warranted, but I did say one thing I still really hope to 
see:

Perhaps Harry is, in some real way, Voldemort's personal 
Philosopher's Stone, and this will play the critical role in the 
denoument.


HARRY HAS THE POWER OF POSSESSION

Back in December, 2004 I posted an analysis of the possibility that 
Harry received the power of Possession from Voldemort.

I won't reproduce it here.  And of course, many people, beginning in 
the very earliest days of this list, have wondered if LV 
had "accidentally" transferred this power to Harry.  I did do the 
first post-length analysis of the subject that I know of, and I still 
think Harry's OoP experiences of "being" the snake, and the long-
fingered man Crucioing Avery, are the signs that he is *just* at the 
edge of actually doing possession on LV.

LILY'S SACRIFICE, REPRISE (SORT OF)

I have always thought that whatever Harry has to do in the end with 
Voldemort, it would echo, or reflect, or otherwise reenact Lily's 
sacrifce in some way.  I'm still sure of it.

TALISMAN'S THEORIES

Guilty!DD, Dark Mirror  -- I love 'em.  The most exciting theories on 
the list, and I do think she's right (save, *maybe*, for the odd 
detail ;))

Geez, 6:49 already????  Better post!
