A strange silver instrument

Hi,
  Thanks for the answers! It's really amazing to get so many replies.
 Anyway, assuming that the splitting of snakes in that instrument is 
supposed to show that Voldemort has not possessed Harry, isn't it 
strange and significant that Harry is represented by a snake? That 
the image should split into  TWO  snakes and not say a snake and a 
lion?  And that it should be ONE  snake before it splits into two?

 As for Dumbledore's feelings, I think that he nods with 'grim 
satisfaction' etc, is because he's been making predictions about 
Harry all the year round isn't it? As Mrs.weasly says somewhat 
later," he has been expecting something like this to happen." And the 
entire guard duty of the Order was designed keeping this expectation 
in mind. So he would be satisfied that his premonitions have come 
true.
   But have you all noticed that this pyschic connection between 
Harry and Voldemort has certain parameters, so to say. When Harry 
truly connects with Voldemort, he becomes Voldemort. As against when 
Voldemort is just forcefully entering into his mind, like putting 
into Harry's head images of Sirius' torturing. (Infact, Harry could 
have detected this difference and after Hermione's arguments, stayed 
at school. )But  has this anything to do with the splitting of snakes?

Bye
