A theory occurred to me about Dumbledore's gleam in GoF Chapter 36 that
I hadn't heard before, but then I am new to this group, so there's a lot
I've missed.
When I read the final chapters of GoF I was surprised by the result of
Harry and Voldemort's twin wands creating the strange reaction of Priori
Incantatem. I don't recall any previous information in the books about wands
with identical cores changing spells so drastically when used against each
other. It occurred to me that this concept of two halves used against each
other botching things might apply to other areas.
In CoS Chapter 18 Dumbledore makes it clear that in Voldemort's attack
on Harry, that he transferred some of his powers to Harry. And in GoF
Chapter 33 Voldemort explains that he used Harry's blood to resurrect
himself mainly so that he could have Harry's powers; particularly the
protective magic given to him by his mother. So we have this situation:
Harry has Voldemort's powers inside him, and Voldemort has Harry's powers
inside him. Is it possible that what applies to wands also applies to
wizards; that each of them having the powers of the other inside them might
make later attacks against Harry by Voldemort go awry?
Just one of those wild thoughts that occurs late at night . . .
