Yeah, I agree.  it has to be that.  I am trying to formulate my own 
theory about why Harry has such vivid dreams that not only 
foreshadow, but also often tell him something that is really going on 
at that time (like chapter 2, book 4).  There has to be some sort of 
link/history to V and Harry.  At first I thought the result of the 
dreams was because of the "brother wand" theory - Voldy's AK curse 
backfired because of the same phoenix feathers.  But that can't be it 
because Harry was still an infant and did not have a want yet.  Any 
thoughts?
