It has been a very long time since I visited this group and for now
only had time to read some of the newest postings - therefore I
appologize if the subject has been brought up recently.
At the end of GoF when Dumbledore asks Harry about what happened when
Voldemort came back - and Harry tells him about the blood from his
arm that Voldemort uses - there is a look of triumph in Dumbledore's
eyes. (I didn't read the english version yet so not sure if the word
actually IS "triumph"?).
I wondered a lot what this could probably mean. Why would Dumbledore
get a look of triumph learning that Voldemort now has Harry's blood
running through his veins....
I went back to book 1 and re-read what Dumbledore said to Harry at
the end of that one. He said, that Voldemort does not understand
love - and that Harry's life was saved by the love from his mother by
an unseen mark (love, not the scar) - a mark that lived in/under
Harry's skin.
Now - could it be that when Voldemort took in Harry's blood he got
some of that 'love' transferred into himself?
Is that what made the triumphant look on Dumbledore when he learned
about it?
Just wondering.
I have no wish for Voldemort to suddenly be good or filled with love -
I want him to stay as evil as it gets - but it is possible that we
need to go back to that talk between Dumbledore and Harry at the end
of book 1 to solve the triumph look at the end of book 4.
