Hello everyone,

I already posted this theory somewhere else, but I think it is as 
appropriate here.

I think JKR used another bit of clever misdirection when she explained 
where Harry and Ron read the name of Nicholas Flamel before. They 
first saw it on the Hogwarts express when Harry found a 
Dumbledore-card in his Chocolate Frog.

Very conveniently she makes us forget it also says Dumbledore defeated 
the dark wizard Grindelwalt (did I spell that right?).

I think this analogy between Harry and Dumbledore is very important. 
Why else would it be Dumbledore guiding Harry into the fight with 
Voldie. He defeated a dark wizard himself and probably knows what 
Harry has to go through to do it himself.

Possibly the 'scar' that is supposed to be the last word of the 7th 
book will belong to Dumbledore. But I admit that last thing is 
a long shot.

History repeats itself...Any thoughts on this theory?
