The prophecy talks about voldemort marking harry, which I had always
taken to mean the scar. In the first book though, Dumbledore refers
to Lily marking Harry with her love when she dies to save him. In
the fourth book, Voldemort takes some of Harry's own blood, so he
can get the residing protection. But it's almost like he's marking
himself with something good, wherease Harry is good but marked with
evil. Like they compliment each other, and in a very strange way
slowly becoming one. In the fifth book, this trend continues, with
Harry lapsing into Voldemorts thoughts, and at the end, with
Voldemort possessing him.
In book two, Harry himself points out how much he is like Tom
Riddle. Except where Tom is choosing evil, Harry is choosing good.
Opposites. And Harry shows mercy (book three, when he does not
allow pettigrew to be killed) wherease Voldemort does not (his
ditching Quirrel in book one).
The problem with all these theories, is that I cannot tell where
it's going. Summarizing, Harry and Voldemort are seeming to become
one creation, (I keep thinking of them like a Yin and Yang) but
where do we go from here?
