Book Titles: How they relate to Voldemort and Harry

Hi, I know I'm coming back to this very late, but here's a thought.  

Each of the book titles seems to move Harry *further away* from 
Voldemort himself -- representing Harry's eventual victory, I think.

1.  Sorceror's Stone:  an item Voldemort tries to lay hands on, and 
for which he competes with Harry.  Harry prevents him.
2.  Chamber of Secrets:  a location, designed by, and intimately 
connected to, Salazar Slytherin -- Voldie's ancestor -- that Tom 
Riddle takes for his own.  Harry defeats him there.
3.  The Prisoner of Azkaban:  Sirius Black, an innocent but haunted 
and imperfect man, duped via Voldemort's servant, who turns out to be 
an ally of Harry's.
4.  The Goblet of Fire:  a neutral, and immensely powerful magical 
object, a symbol of harmony and cooperation.  It gets corrupted, as 
much as it can be, by a supporter of Voldemort.  But the Goblet is 
not in itself evil.
5.  The Order of the Phoenix:  Presumably, the "old crowd" -- a last 
alliance of wizards uniting to defeat Voldemort.  Good guys.

Even while Harry moves closer to direct confrontation with Voldemort, 
the titles increasingly link him to objects/people that are *against* 
Voldemort.
