This somehow invokes memories of Lewis's Narnia and Aslan and Deep 
Magic.  In Lewis's world, this Deep Magic seems to be tied into the 
natural order of things in the same way that gravity is part of the 
natural order of things.  Everytime I think about Dumbledore's 
ancient magic, I try to make this comparison, though I'm wondering if 
it is a stretch seeing as we are talking about two different worlds 
here.
