Thank you, GinnyLove - a little backup is always nice :D!

Exactly - she's got at the very least some insight into the child he 
once was.  Would be so cool if, in a moment of Evil Voldy weakness, 
she was able to remind him of some of his youthful vulnerabilities - 
remind him that he's human?

I don't know that she got any powers from him the way Harry did, but 
I think she's got a link of some sort that they can use to their 
advantage against him.  Maybe even just something he shared with her 
to gain her confidence will end up being useful somehow.

GinnyLove, I salute you!  In fact, I'm gonna give you my H/G sailor's 
scarf, as a sign of my gratitude for your support!

H/G - happy sappy sailors!
