One thing that puzzles me is that if neither can live while the 
other survives, how long a period is referred to? Obviously, LV was 
alive for over a year after Harry was born; again, since the end of 
GoF, a year has passed with both HP and LV co-existing in the 
magical community. How does the presence of one character interfere 
with the survival of the other? I wonder if JKR will spell that out 
in books six or seven.

Sarah responded:
My shot at answering the enigma: we're already seeing it when Harry 
gets his dreams/visions of being Voldemort.  In OotP, at one point 
Harry collapsed on the stairs to the boys dorms and started laughing 
manically because Voldemort was laughing.  Harry sees through 
Voldemort's eyes.  He doesn't have a sense of being Harry at these 
times.  He believes himself to be Voldemort.  (Ever see Being John 
Malkovich?  I think it's like that.)


Marcela here:
And don't forget that Voldemort was able to feel Harry's presence 
when he was attacking Mr. Weasley.  Evidently, when Harry is under a 
lot of stress or caring for a loved one (Mr. Weasley's attack, 
Sirius' death) Voldemort can't stand it.  Unfortunately for Harry, 
he did not experience intense feelings of love in fifth year (they 
were mainly feelings of rejection, neglect, hatred, 
missunderstanding).  I wonder what would Voldemort feel now that 
Harry is mourning a very close loved one, I guess we will have to 
wait for Snape's report on that.
