Er, don't ask what the above quote has to do with anything.  It's 
almost completely random, except the first part.  I was rereading CoS 
for about the fiftieth time, and when Dumbledore explained why Harry 
can speak Parseltongue, an Idea with a capital I hit me and I rushed 
right over to my computer to type it up.  Okay, although this is no 
Great Semicolon Debate, it's pretty nitpicky, but have any of you 
guys noticed that when he tried to kill Harry and lost his body, 
Voldemort transferred a bit of himself to Harry - and when he got his 
body back, he took a bit of Harry as part of himself??  That just 
struck me.  What's also odd is that each time, both got something out 
of it, although the person on the receiving end gets it in a slightly 
less left-handed way.  When V tries to kill Harry, Harry gets the 
ability to speak Parseltongue, and V doesn't die, even though he 
should've (I suspect that him giving Harry some of his powers has 
something to do with this, although exactly what I'm not sure).  When 
V takes Harry's blood, V gets Lily's protection and Harry gets - we 
don't know, but he probably got something good, as evidenced by 
Dumbledore's look of triumph.  Eesh, I don't know what I'm trying to 
say here.  If anyone wants to expand on this, be my guest, but I'm 
tired and I'm all theoried out - French homework has that effect on a 
person. >_<
