not? 

eowynn: 

IMO I don't think he is one. Mostly because the only Phoenix we have heard of is Fawkes, and since we have seen him and Harry together on several occasions I would say no. Also I feel that becoming an animagi is still beyond our young hero.

Eowynn:

We have seen on many occasions that Harry forgets the resources at his disposal (i.e. the mirror that Sirius gave him.)Before CoS Harry had never summoned a Phoenix, and he has only (as far as I can remember, again I don't have my books) summoned him that once. He has however been healed by his tears more than the one time (end of GoF.)

eowynn:

This is a good question, that I hope some one may have a better answer to than I. IMO, I would say that a sacrifice of ones life for anyone else would react the same as if a family member gave their life for you. I believe that Harry has a great deal of love for his friends and a few of the grown ups around him. If he gave his life to spare any of theirs I believe he would protect them the same as Lily protected him.

Eowynn:

OK, now with out my books i don't have anything to back this, plus I could be completely off base. I always thought that since the Hufflepuffs and the Gryffindors went up the same set of stairs to their separate dormitories (splitting some ways before they reach said dorms.), that Ravenclaw and Slytherine were both located in the dungeons, just separate ways once you entered. Is this just movie contamination?

Thanks

Eowynn:

I gather that she often misses the train due to having to locate all of her belongings that are stolen and hidden from her. From the conversation she had with Harry this is not the first time it had happened.I do believe that this will be a clue for future books, though I haven't had a chance to really work out my theory yet, but I do believe it is a clue.



Hoping this helped a little,

Eowynn
