I'm new to this group, but after getting clued in to read your message
#55793, I was quite interested. I also see the HP story in this kind of
way, and that is precisely (I believe) why it speaks so deeply to so many
people. It was great to read your comments!
Some of the symbolism I like best is that of the phoenix, which cannot (by
nature) be anything other than completely free. Yet, that is also its
greatest strength. No wonder they are so loyal. One can only be called a
pet because it chooses to be one.
Based on my own observations, I just posted a message speculating what might
happen, and maybe message #71340 would give you an idea of how I think of
it.
Thanks again,
Marianna
