How do we know that the shade Harry takes for James Potter is James 
Potter? Harry assumes that it is, but couldn't he be making the same 
mistake he made at the end of PoA? My theory is, what Harry is seeing 
is the echo of the failed aveda kedavra curse, and what appears is 
Harry as a grown up, because that's who Voldemort was trying to 
eliminate. Or alternatively, he sees himself in the form of James 
because >>Your father is alive in you, Harry,and shows himself most 
plainly when you have need of him.<< Hope this is not too confusing.
