I'm going out on a limb since I've lurked here for awile, but never 
posted......forgive me if this theory has been discussed and 
rejected.....


IMHO Dumbledore "set up" Harry so that he would have to go and 
retreive the prophecy......if Harry doesn't go get it for the 
order....LV's eventually going to go get it himself.

The occlumency lessons only made Harry's visions stronger to the 
point where he knew exactly where to go in MOM to get the prophecy. 
Dumbledore had to know that Harry wasn't going to learn to block the 
visions by working with Snape.....maybe he even wanted Harry to 
learn something about the history of Snape/Harry's parents'.

Also the scene in Dumbledore's office with the smoke snake that 
splits in two, he says something like "in essense divided" ie. the 
snake is in LV and in Harry or part of its power is in each; Harry 
wants to attack Dumbledore; Dumbledore avoids him so Harry can't 
find out why.

It seems like Harry has to get closer to LV's thoughts b/c that will 
be a key part of the final "confrontation".

Okay that puts me on the precarious edge of the limb so feel free to 
knock me off.

fashion before the end. Death must not be such a bad place in 
Harry's world since there are tons of references to the hereafter.
