"A thought has been brewing for a while.  The "re-embodiment" 
potion/spell/whatever called for the "blood of an enemy, forcibly 
taken."  Harry was very well tied up at the time Wormtail took his 
blood, and although he was "struggling helplessly" he couldn't put 
up much of a fight so that nothing was too forcibly taken.  I wonder 
if  it was this little detail that (I know, "so we're back to *that* 
again?" <sigh>) caused that curious gleam of triumph in Dumledore's 
eye."

Sorry Trina but just because he isn't exactly fighting when it's 
taken doesn't mean that it isn't forcibly taken.OTOH, Harry didn't 
have to tie a vile of his blood up with a ribbon to mean that it 
wasn't forcibly taken. It seems to me that if Harry didn't WANT it 
taken then it was forcibly taken.

Who thinks that Perhaps that gleam in Dumbledore's eyes was simply 
that he knew Harry's ordeal would allow us infinite conversation 
until the release of book five.

or maybe not...
