Ron dying... /about Dobby

[finwitch]

No: HPFGUIDX 53797

Well, 13-at-table prediction by Trelawney: "The first to rise is the 
first to die".

Ron and Harry rise at nearly the same time and wonder which of them 
it is.

Fore-shadowing where Ron sacrifices himself "It's chess. You must 
make sacrifices". Harry takes lead, makes the final move, enabled by 
Ron's sacrifice - and he hand Hermione can move on to the potion-
puzzle and from there to the Mirror and Quirrelmort.

Also, I think Ron will die to give Harry the way to defeat Voldemort.

But um - 5th book is too early, I think.

----
Dobby is rarely independent, like Harry in resisting Imperious Curse. 
Sirius, Harry and Dobby all have had their "prisons".

Harry sets Dobby free in the end CoS.
Next, we hear Sirius Black escaping, having freed from a prison;
Then, Harry leaves his prison as well.

Harry goes back to his "prison", but with much improved conditions; 
now he has Sirius to back him up.
Sirius too - but he's not totally free either, not before he's 
officially cleared.
Dobby has improved conditions at Hogwarts - happy, free- but not yet 
shifted all the weight from Malfoys...;

Odd connections, I think - did Dobby do something to help Sirius 
escape unnoticed? Did Dobby call up the Knight Bus? What *was* Dobby 
doing all 3rd book? I think Dobby is one key to help Sirius free and 
thus, Harry. All the time Dobby speaks highly of Harry Potter - much 
like Winky does of Crouch Sr... If Dobby looked to Mirror of Erised, 
Dobby would see himself as Harry Potter's house-elf, and his Boggart 
would be a dead Harry Potter. (That'd cause *some* diversion, 
wouldn't it?)
