Voldemort Owes Harry!

When one wizard saves another wizard's life, a life debt is created 
between the two wizards.  Albus indicated this.  Although we don't 
know what this bond is good for or what it achieves, presumably we 
will find out in later books.  I expect that the wizard saved is in 
some kind of debt to the wizard who saved.

Therefore, since both Ginny Weasley and Wormtail (Peter Petigrew) 
have been saved (or spared) by Harry, both have a life debt with 
him.  This idea is nothing new and many in this group have remarked 
upon it before.

However I have an idea which I have not seen expressed else-where 
which I will articulate here because I think it explains the look of 
triumph in Dumbledores eye when Harry recounts the return of 
Voldemort.

If Peter Petigrew has a wizard's bond (life debt) with Harry and 
Peter Petigrew donated flesh to Voldemortes return, then Voldemorte 
must have a life debt with Harry by transitivity.  Therefore 
Voldemort is indebted to Harry, unbeknownst to Voldemorte.

If you doubt this, consider that Voldemorte has benefitted from 
Lily's protection of Harry by transitivity (Harry donated blood to 
Voldemorte's return), just as Harry has gotten his parselmouth from 
Voldemorte curse, also by transitivity.

I expect that Harry will capitized on this in a latter book, just as 
I expect Ginny's life debt with Harry may benefit Harry in some 
unforeseen way.
