Thanks for the above JKR statement- I had not heard that Voldemort's
first goal was European domination. IMO, Voldemort has another goal-
one that he has been working on for some time, according to himself,
prior to his failed attempt to kill Harry-immortality. I can
certainly see how one goal can be connected to the other. IMO,
Voldemort has a lot in common with the ancient Egyptians-who were
also very interested in the concept of immortality. Perhaps, and
this of course is just a guess, the next step following the regaining
of a human body involves something that can only be found in Eqypt-
something to do with the phoenix. IMO, Voldemort's greatest fear is
death and what follows after death;hence, his fanatical obsession
with immortality. I believe the following ideas are too closely
connected to be coincidental: 1) the title of book 5-the Order of the
Phoenix; 2) the Egypt-Phoenix connection; 3)Phoenix-Egyptian symbol
of immortality; 4) references to ancient Egyptian wizards in PoA; 5)
Voldemort's obsession with immortality/desire to rule Europe. And
also, Bill Weasley is already in Egypt-could he be considered
a "special fan" of Harry's? Up to book 4, we had never met Bill
Weasley-now suddenly, here he is-coincidence? IMO, I just do not
think so.
