I think Marissa is onto something here. In the similarities between
the two histories(TR and HP) JKR provides us with a very clear
picture of two boys who were orphaned and raised without love. They
both get their chance at Hogwarts. One makes the CHOICE to be
bitter and hateful about the whole thing, while the other chooses to
try and find love and good in the world instead. He finds it, while
the other grows more hateful, eventually turning into the embodiment
of the hatred inside him. And in the end, we will presumably see the
ultimate results of those choices that they have both had to make.

Stella, who doesn't want anyone going soft on Voldy!
