I just had a thought... and this may really be stretching things...but
the HAND OF THE OTHER made me think of it.....  WORMTAIL... Voldermort
created his new hand so in some ways it is Voldermort's hand. But
Wormtail has been saved by Harry so there is a link there, and
Voldermort's new body contains blood both from Wormtail and Harry...
not sure where this is going though... This Blood thing is proving to
be significant because of what Dumbledore told Harry regarding Lily
and Petunia... Voldermort seems unaware that Wormtail is endebted to
Harry, which should weaken him, (and wouldn't make him very happy..you
know that ancient magic again... ) since the blood of a servant is
endebted to the enemy whose blood was forceably taken... methinks the
Rat has more of a role still.... can he possibly kill Voldermort or
have something to do with it? I think I just thickened the murk rather
than coming to anything seemingly conclusive... any thoughts? 

I'm still trying to figure out how to roll Neville into this as well
without Harry and/or Neville having to die...
