jastrangfeld/Julie asked:

Has anyone had any thoughts on the voice in Harry's head? I know 
I've read of it in at least 2 of the books, the most recent example 
is the voice that questions "why?" when Crouch!Moody is trying to get 
him to jump on the desk using the Imperius Curse. But I could have 
sworn I've read about a voice in his head in another book as well. 
Sometimes I think the voice has not been a guiding voice, but I 
believe most of the times it is. If no one can come up with the 
other reference, I will look it up :o)

Now my question is the voice:

a. Harry's subconcious or wizard conciousness?

b. Perhaps a link to another wizard helping keep watch over him, such 
as Dumbledore?

c. a part of his father still living in him?

d. Some weird thing that happened with the original fight with 
Voldemort?

e. of no consequence and I'm way reading too much into this?

Julie, I have always wondered the same thing. However, when the 
Imperius Curse was used, for some reason I always pictured it being 
his father, whispering in his ear. Yet, wouldn't Harry have said 
something about that if that was the case, as in PoA when he could 
hear his parents?

I am to the point where I think it may be his (wizard?) 
subconciousness.
