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!
