Behold, my first post to the group! Sorry if there is nothing new.
You know, I had wondered quite a bit about the twinkle in his eye and
I do not think that Harry got it wrong. Why I don't think he got it
wrong is that because Harry tends to believe that people are mainly
good. His parents are murdered, he lived with a horrible step family
for ten years, people distrust him in every possible occasion and
still he does not give up on the good in people. I mean he could have
been a class A paranoid, but he isn't.
Anyway, after long internal debates, I concluded that in order for
Voldemort to be killed or at least be defeated in some way, he has to
become a person first. And now, he has become a normal person, I
think, an equal to Harry. Harry had some powers from Voldie, and now
Voldie has some from Harry. And including that some powers is the
link between Harry and Wormtail.
What Voldie craved the most from Harry is the ability to rebound the
Avada Kedavra curse, but from the first movie we know that it is a
bond especially between Harry's mother and him, it is created by
love. It is not, at least I think so, able to be transferred by a
series of spells to another, because it is not Harry's to give.
Voldemort was never able to fully understand the phonemon, and he
still doesn't. He thinks Harry has a power against that curse, but in
fact he doesn't. It is not a power, or a protection that can be
explained by spells. It is a mother's devotion and love and
compassion all concentrating on the son for one last moment, and thus
leaving its mark as a protection. It is not permenant, therefore not
a power to be transferred.
But Dumbledore knows this. And he also knows that Voldemort doesn't.
This illusion of power or protection, Voldemort's return to
mortality, together with the unknown link between Wormtail and Harry
puts him into a bad position actually. Voldemort has the lower hand,
thus can be defeated, at last.
That's what that twinkle means, Voldemort can be defeated. God I love
Dumbledore, triumph implies planning, he could very possibly have
planned all this, or at least saw it before hand! And don't forget
the first prophecy, it maybe about Voldemort's defeat and it might
include Harry. We may be seeing the prophecy coming true. (Of course
we will if Rowling continues to write, but you know what I mean)
Which brings us to what D. will say to Harry in OoP. I think he will
explain the first prophecy being something like "Harry James Potter
of Lily and James Potter will bring the downfall of the Dark Lord."
Which quite explains why V. wants to kill Harry. And remember there
was a lot of spying to V. from Hogwarts thanks to Wormtail, who would
have most possible heard this prophecy about two of his closest
friends. But V. doesn't know is that the prophecy is not about a
rival or an archenemy, it is about being too confident and wrong.
Triumph! Well in deed what has happened in GoF may bring that. 14
years of waiting and planning beforehand, which I believe includes
giving Harry to his step family and keeping an eye on him through Ms.
Figg, meaning he did all this planning in a matter of hours, in
coming to fruit at last. True dark and hard times, and much sorrow is
ahead, but finally light may be brought to the darkest places.
Achieving that hope is a triumph, too. Yes, he did put people,
especially Harry in danger, but he was always under protection,
remember that.
In conclusion, no I don't think he is evil.
Well, what do YOU think?
