ME:
(sorry if this is posted twice, issues with Yahoomort!)

*dusts off old dragon and dragons blood theory* Hmmmm, that's funny 
I dont remember it being so full of holes.

Well dragons aren't mentioned much, but where dragons are presented 
in canon, I couldn't help but notice some striking similarities 
between dragons and well....Harry. 

GoF/20: 
"Dragons are extremely difficult to slay, owing to the ancient magic 
that imbues their thick hides, which none but the most powerful 
spells can penetrate..." (though Sirius says a simple spell can do 
it)

That's funny, Harry is extremely difficult to slay, owing to the 
ancient magic that imbues his hide, which none but the most powerful 
spells can penetrate. 

Then there's the speculation that surrounds Harry eyes/eyeglasses. 
And later Sirius says that the eyes are a dragon's weakest points 
(sorry, can't find this reference again). 

Finally, we know Dumbledore discovered the 12 uses for dragon's 
blood (one of which I believe is used in the Wolfsbane potion - but 
that's another theory), and that little gleam in D's eyes at the end 
of GoF.

I posted this theory at the lexicon forum a month ago (seems so long 
ago) and some there brought up some other similarities, like Harry's 
natural ability to fly and his accumulated fortune *grin* of course, 
this would apply to Draco too. And another mentioned the single-
minded protection Dragon mothers have for their clutch of eggs? Lily 
gave her all in protecting Harry, also. 

I'm not saying Harry is a dragon or could have an animagus form of a 
dragon. More I was thinking along the lines of dragons blood playing 
a role in the 'ancient magic' that saves Harry's life. Perhaps that 
gleam in D's eyes has to do with Harry's blood?

Well, this theory is so full of holes it's likely to sink straight 
to the bottom of Theory Bay. Heck, there's not even enough here to 
fully qualify it as a 'theory' to begin with! But here it is for you 
to do with what you will. Perhaps it'd make a nice soda-coozie for 
those floating out in Tbay?
