Some Traits With Voldemort (from CoS, Chap. 18)

(To the tune of The Streets of Baltimore)

NOTE: The original is an archetypal "cryin' in your beer" 
Country/Western song. The reader should imagine HARRY crying in his 
butterbeer. 

THE SCENE: Professor McGonagall's office. Alone with DUMBLEDORE, 
HARRY shares his fears about his heritage

HARRY
They bought the farm, so we as orphans were left on our own
With Muggle kin, both lacking friends, on paths as hard as stone.
And when I purchased my first wand, it possessed a phoenix core
That Ollivander said shared traits with Voldemort's

Well, my heart was filled with horror when I heard the Sorting Hat
Tell me that in the Slytherin dorm I'd have success down pat
And when I learned he spoke to snakes, a thing I had done before,
I was shocked I shared some traits with Voldemort 

When the Secret Chambers I found, I met him face-to-face
It was quite clear we looked alike, a Doppelgänger case.
Are we both heirs of Slytherin? No more can I ignore 
How I'm sharing all these traits with Voldemort

DUMBLEDORE
When Voldy tried to kill you, you gained his facilities
But it's the choices that you make, not your abilities
Because with Fawkes and the Sorting Hat you've gained such a rapport
You can rank among the greats of Gryffindor

(HARRY pulls the sword of Gryffindor out of the Sorting Hat)

BOTH
I/You can rank among the greats of Gryffindor
