(Thanks, Geoff - I didn't see Valky's post until now.)

Hmm.  Valky, I'll admit I've wondered about that gleam, but never in 
conjunction with the protection Dumbledore's spell had offered 
Harry.  It puts an inriguing spin on it, to imagine that Dumbledore's 
magic is now within Voldy.  

Boy, wouldn't Voldy do a total blood transfusion out of annoyance if 
he knew?
