SSSusan:  Good catch!  That *is* something Harry discovered, both 
in "Chamber" and in *the* Chamber.

SSSusan:
Could be love--many believe it so.  My personal theory is that it's a

plain old love.  (Almost everyone is capable of love and loves 
others, but sacrificial love is a rarer thing, imo.)
