And now Me:
This is something I've wondered about since the first time I read it. I believed instantly that Harry was NOT seeing things and that Dumbledore really did have a twinkle in his eye. Now that Voldemort is carrying Harry's blood, he has opened himself to a weakness, which of course he doesn't see yet.
My first thought was that the weakness is LOVE, since that is the magic that Harry carries in his veins from his mother. In Harry's case the Love is his strength, but we all know that "love hurts" and now Dumbledore knows there is a way to get at Voldemort - through the very blood in his veins. Harry's blood may have helped bring Voldemort back to life, but in the end I believe this will also prove to be his undoing. Of course we'll have to wait and see what JKR has to say about all this!
Oh yeah, and my 2nd thought on this matter - how will they be able to use this new information against Voldemort? Hmm... maybe a little chat with our Potions Master might be the catalyst to get something brewing?
Lea (who will now go back to lurking and just enjoying everyone's shared thoughts - and thanks to everyone for making me laugh on a daily basis!)
