This is just a theory that popped into my head while rereading PoA: chapter
19.
If it as already been discussed just tell me so and point me in the right
direction. There's just too many messages to check through wether this has
popped up yet or not.
When Snape is screaming at Hermione in sparks shoot out of his wand.
Obviously it's the result of his anger. And also many accidental bursts of
magic have occured to Harry when he's been angry.
And the connection between Harry and Voldemort also works during Voldemort's
angry moments(giving more power to the connection between him and Harry
allowing Harry to 'see' things. This might work the other way around too, if
Harry ever gets that angry).
Also fear is a very powerful factor concerning accidental magic (reference
to: Harry, Neville)
Elaborating on those two things it could be said that both fear and anger
cause great 'ripples' in magic or great changes at least.
This brings me to Harry's surviving Avada Kedavra as a baby.
Voldemort was very angry at Lily for she did not abide to his commands.
Lily was very frightened of him.
Harry as a baby who had yet to learn to control his magic somehow picked up
on those two feelings and 'reflected' them.
When Voldemort cursed Lily she died.
But when turnign the curse on Harry things didn't go as expected.
Why?
Because Lily who had learned to control her magic had supressed her
uncontrolled magic triggered by fear and anger.
But Harry wasn't trained yet. Thus Harry already being affected by Lily's
fear and Voldemort's anger, not to mention at some basic level he should've
'felt' his mother dying contributing more to his fear(and maybe anger).
Harry seems as a very powerful wizard(References to Lily being respected,
seemingly very powerful for a Muggle-Born. And James being able to become an
Animagus at age 15). And untrained Wizards also release their magic when
their lives are in danger(Neville). All this added up could just be the
reason why the Killing curse didn't kill Harry.
Purely accidental magic.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
