> Dragons were also called the "Great Wyrm" in ancient times, and 
were often portrayed as serpents, or serpent-bodied. (The Kraken 
seamonster/sea-serpent that Persues saved the maiden Andromeda is a 
good example). Perhaps it isn't Harry's physical vision that is his 
weak point, but rather his (as yet) inability to look at 
things/people/events surrounding him in a less subjective way, since 
one of the signs of maturity is trying to at least make an effort to 
be objective. This has been one of his main weaknesses so far, and we 
saw it truly displayed in the OOtP where Voldemort uses his lack of 
judgement to lead Harry to blindly follow his own will despite 
warnings from those around him....to the point where he refuses to 
even attempt to subjugate his emotions despite knowing/experiencing 
clear signs of the connection Voldemort has made.

wise, maybe the mark left on Harry isn't a scar that's shaped like s 
lightening-bolt, but one shaped like an "S".

Mandy (rredordead at a) again:
Very interesting. I'm a great fan of Lily being a desendant of 
Slytherin and possibly LV through his Marvolio side of the family.
