And the shift in GoF is well - in a way, not a shift at all. It's 
like Harry's somehow, in his dream, seen the part of Chapter 1 even 
as Frank Bryce experienced it. In a way, he'd BEEN Frank Bryce for a 
while. The Avada Kedavra causes Harry's scar hurt - at the same time 
as it's cast on the poor fellow, I suppose.

The curse and Harry's scar are the link that ties those scenes 
together, and it's not entirely certain FB story WAS Harry's dream, 
though - and Harry did get another one of 'seeing Voldemort from 
someone elses perspective' later, but that was in Divination class -
and his dream of the Goblet that was Voldemort's PLAN was a dream 
safely in bed...

That's a question we have no answer to - did Harry see Frank Bryce's 
PoV in his dream or not? Or was it *partly* Harry's dream, and if it 
was, how big a part? Since FB decided to go see the house, perhaps?
