Yeah, so ligilimant, as being under the influence of legilimancy,
but I digress...
I've been having a lot of fun rereading the first four books under
the new info imparted in book five, mostly that of mind-reading, and
something interesting in the first book caught my attention. During
Harry's first night at Hogwarts, he has a really interesting dream:
"(Harry) was wearing Professor Quirrell's turban, which kept talking
to him, telling him he must transfer to Slytherin at once, because
it was his destiny. Harry told the turban he didnt want to be in
Slytherin; it got heavier and heavier; he tried to pull it off but
it tighened painfully- and there was Malfoy, laughing at him as he
struggled with it- then Malfoy turned into the hook-nosed teacher,
Snape, whose laugh became high and cold- there was a burst of green
light and harry woke, sweating and skaking."
Mybe this is just stream-of-consciousness dreaming, but the
connections between Malfoy, Snape, and Voldemort's killing curse is
very interesting. Maybe snape played a first-hand role in the deaths
of Lily and James?
Just a thought,
