Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but there are too many 
posts, can't catch up with them all. Sorry if I don't express myself 
well, English is not my mother tongue and I am having difficulty 
searching the right words.

I haven't read the book yet (don't know when I will be able too), so 
I don't know if I am missing something, but I'm fascinated by all 
your posts.

After learning that Petunia's blood protects Harry I finally 
understand the gleam in DD's eyes when he learns that V has Harry's 
blood. It turns out that Voldemort can't kill Harry because his 
(V's) blood protects Harry. 

I agree with many of you who believe that love is the force that 
will destroy Voldemort, redeeming Tom Riddle. I think that when DD 
says that there are worse things than death, he could possibly refer 
to guilt or madness. 

Maybe Harry and Neville (I think he is part of the Prophecy too) 
will do something that will make Voldemort become conscience of his 
acts (by conscience I mean that he will realize how much wrong he 
has done and be truly sorry about it). Maybe they forgive Voldemort 
for all the pain he has caused them. If this is true, he will have 
to live the rest of his life feeling very guilty. Maybe this guilt 
will drive him crazy and he'd end locked up in St. Mungo's.

Talking about Neville, I too am mad at his Grandma by the way she 
treats him. I think that maybe Grandma does not want Neville to end 
up with the same fate of his parents, so she does certain things to 
sabotage his development like not allowing him to have his own wand, 
making him feel clumsy and stupid with all that "You are no good" 
stuff... Maybe she even places memory charms on him purposefully, or 
maybe the gum wrappers do hold a clue that every time Neville 
deciphers, Grandma makes him forget about it. Talking about 
psychological scars and child abuse... I know nothing worse to a 
kid's development than to have a parent tell him constantly that you 
he's no good, that he's stupid, and so on. And these kind of parents 
usually believe that this is truly the best way to educate someone. 
Even adults suffer from self-confidence trouble because of people 
who verbally abuse them constantly.

Anyway, haven't read the books, not sure if I misinterpreted 
Grandma...
