   I guess great minds think alike? :) I can assure you I've never 
been to any meetups, and I'm not sure if I'm a member of your group, 
so, I didn't borrow your idea. :)

  Jeff:

    That's a good point, and one that I was trying to make,but was 
getting razzed at by a certain person who is too focused on the wrong 
things about Harry, including some ideas that JKR has never mentioned 
or even denied.
    In OOtP, we see how much stronger the link is, and that it's 
getting to a very dangerous level. I fear that if proximity has 
anything to do with it, and LV is once again hiding in the forest, 
then Harry will have hell for the next two years, and I shudder what 
to think will happen when he's at home. :( 
   As I tried to point out, Harry lost the protection of not being 
touched by LV with his attack on Quirell. Assuming that LV can alter 
his appearance with a potion as well, how close can he get to Harry 
now? Will the scar be enough? And what if LV *does* enter the Dursley 
home, in disguise? I agree that having Lily's blood will most likely 
affect DD's protection as well, to a certain point, but how far, I 
cannot say. I do agree with you that somethings have changed with LV 
having some of that blood in him. What all the effects will be 
remains to be seen.

   Agreed. Right now, they're *both* at a sort of crossroads. Neither 
is really living, as you say, and yet the do need each other for now. 
I'm guessing that they're feeding off of each other, and we're seeing 
Harry gaining new powers as he siphons off of LV more and more. That 
could be the one factor that is keeping LV from reaching full 
strength earlier. Notice that it wasn't until Harry started at 
Hogwarts and was *knowingly* using his powers that LV was really able 
to gain a body. There's much more to this link that we're guessing. 
I'm sure that whatever it is, it's going to be a good one. :) But I 
am sure that we must be close. I know that my guess that Arthur 
Weasley was going to Azkaban to see Sirius Black was very close. I 
didn't know about his connection to the Order, but now I can see 
that's what the reasoning was, to keep him informed on Harry as well 
as what the Order was planning. Maybe between the two of us, we can 
get close on this as well. ;)
