Good points!!
Second attempt. Let's see if I can fix this. I haven't added in
Lily's love yet, but that's a good thought.
At GH, before the rebounded curse, the standings of 'being' are:
Harry - 100% Harry
Voldie - 100% Voldie (whether he is in fact some combination of
Slytherin, Grindlewald (sp?), Riddle, etc is a whole other
contemplation).
Perhaps, since Voldie believes that Harry is more powerful from the
portion of the prophesy that he knows, he thinks he'll just
assimilate (too much Star Trek, I know!) Harry and become more
powerful than he (Voldie) already is. But Lily's charm prevents the
assimilation of Harry, and instead Voldie's curse backfires and put
into motion the backup plan, that when Voldie is about to be killed,
he escapes his body and lodges in another. Harry, the only living
person around, is the target. But only a portion of Voldie gets in
because of the charm, and the rest is left to sulk in Albania.
So now, the standings would be:
Harry - 100% Harry, plus some portion of Voldie, say 50%
Voldie - 50%
The theorist pauses here to wonder if a single person can be more
than 100%. Well, I guess the answer is 'yes' if Quirrel!Mort can be
Quirrel and Voldie.
As a side comment, Trelawney may actually be sensing the Voldie in
Harry, hence the mistake about when his birthday is, etc. And Ron's
sarcastic comment about Harry having to be some extra concentrated
ghost to die as many times as Trelawney predicts might fit here too,
but I digress....
Fast forward to the cemetery near the Riddle's manor and the dark
magic that Voldie uses to get a/his body back. So does Harry lose
any of himself when his blood is used in the spell or does there
become 'more' of Harry? I suppose that depends on what this dark
magic does. I'm proposing first that taking Harry's blood or
Wormtail's hand, does not lessen their own percentages of being, but
just adds to Voldie. And let's assume that he has to be 100% of
whatever combination he can come up with to have a body.
With that in mind,
Harry - still 100% Harry, 50% Voldie
Voldie - 50% that he started with, plus the new ingredients from
the spell: 17% muggle dust, 17% Wormtail, 16% Harry.
So the bottom line is that there is 'more' of Harry than there is of
Voldie.
Now, what if Harry loses some of himself at the Riddle Manor?
Harry - 100% Harry, 34% Voldie (50-16)
or
84% Harry (100-16), 50% Voldie
Voldie - 66% Voldie, 17% muggle dust, 17% Wormtail
or
50% Voldie, 17% muggle dust, 17% Wormtail, 16%Harry.
But what about Wormtail? If Harry loses some of himself, wouldn't
Wormtail lose some too?
The whole exercise could be done from the top if Harry lost some of
himself at GH to the expense of the curse.
Back to GH and assess just after the curse:
Harry - 50% Harry, 50% Voldie
Voldie - 50%
Now there isn't enough of Harry on his own to exist.
And back to the cemetery: First theory that the dark magic doesn't
remove anything from Harry but only adds to Voldie:
Harry - 50% Harry, 50% Voldie
Voldie - 50% Voldie, 17% muggle dust, 17% Wormtail, 16% Harry
Now if there was a Harry/Voldie combination, Harry has more than he
would have had - he'd be up to 66%, but out %'d by Voldie's 100%.
This post is already too long, I'll go back and play with some
numbers so that they come out the way I want! :)
Cheers!
CRobo.
