[HPforGrownups] Reader's Digest Article JKR & HP's vulnerability

Hey.

I haven't seen the article, but I agree.  The glasses are significant.  Can't say why, but they are.  Your theory of the curse is a good one and can be backed by numerous events.  Seeing as I don't have the books in front of me and I am writing this at 1:00 am ET, I can't write them now; but I will look into it.  If that is true, it would probably take place during the 7th book, because Harry isn't Harry with out his glasses.  Another key "spectacle-wearing" Gryffindor is Dumbledore.  I don't think it actually says, but how can he be anything else?  The "vulnerability" thing : beeing near-sighted (literally, not metophorically) I totally understand that.  I can't even see the E at the top of the chart without squinting!  When I don't have my glasses on or loose my contacts (see "Unlikely Coven" for good description of this*) I am leading myself into abyss with the lesser of my sences.  Kinda freaky!  BTW : Speculation and rumors make for the best stories!

  Well, I've already commented on my theory that Salazaar Slytherin cursed
  all decendants of Goderic Gryiffindor so that they need glasses, and that
  the curse will break when Harry vanquishes V (after which he will no longer
  need glasses!).  But this is all wild speculation on my part... I do think 
  Harry's
  glasses are significant, however.  (Note too that most of the spectacle-wearing
  people whose house we know -- Harry, James, Percy, McGonnegal -- are all
  Gryffindors.)
