I've always thought there was something to this dream but I haven't 
been able to figure out what except thinking that maybe Harry is 
truly a Slytherin(and he does possess many qualities of a Slytherin)
but I think that there is something to it...& i'd love to hear more 
thoughts on it....
also I think that there is another reason that Snape hates James 
Potter and Sirius so much, something more personal than the stuff 
that has been presented so far and it would explain the hatred btw 
Harry & Snape...JRK said in an interview that the Snape factor would 
be explained in the last book and maybe in the next one(i'm really 
not sure) anyway really curious to what's going to happen next....I'm 
also wondering about the perfection of James and Lily...so far none 
of the characters have been presented as 'perfect' even Dumbledore 
admits to mistakes, and James' perfection has been struck down in POA 
and OoP, Lily seems to be without fault and most descriptions of her, 
and of James & Lily are too perfectionistic(is that a word?) I'm 
thinking could James or Lily actually be less than less then perfect? 
There are many references to not all who are evil being Death Eaters 
or on Voldemort's side....
insomniac's rant here anyway
