Melody:
 >Oh I see what you are getting at.  Voldemort has put himself, via
Elkins' trademarked Special Silvery Wizarding Soul Stuff, into Peter
too.  Oh interesting twist there.  So Peter is more evil.  He has the
touches of Voldemort's, like Voldemort has of Harry's.  Oh this is a
nice little trio of people we have here.  Seems Harry turned out to be
the only one not contaminated.<

(I apologize if this has been answered between Saturday and now -- I got a 
few days behind, still haven't caught up, and thought I'd better respond to 
this while my brain was still retaining my thoughts. <grin>)

Hmm. We almost have a complete double circle here, don't we? Harry saved 
Peter's life, Peter gave his hand to Voldemort, Voldemort gave powers to 
Harry. Reversed, Harry gave blood to Voldemort, Voldemort gave "spirit 
stuff" to Peter, Peter gives ?? to Harry. Peter owes Harry a life-debt. If 
he repays it, and closes that second circle.... No proof that I can think 
of offhand, but that seems like a pretty powerful magic circuit to me. 
Possibly even related to ancient magic? Ancient magic, which is somehow 
(IIRC) related to Lily's protection of Harry, Harry's protection while at 
the Dursley's, and the natural defenses of dragons. Could it be that when 
that circle is closed, neither Voldemort nor Harry will be able to harm 
each other?

And, reaching out even farther on this limb, with the heirs of Slytherin 
and Gryffindor unable to destroy each other, therefore guaranteeing that at 
least two of the founding lines continue, does that prevent some 
catastrophe predicted by Trelawney (at least the conquest of the WW by 
Voldemort)?

How did I get so far up in this theory tree when I'm afraid of heights? <grin>
