Now Ginger:

I may be wrong, in which case I apologize to the board, especially 
vmonte and Geoff, but I think vmonte was referring to two seperate 
incidences.  The voice was referring to when Harry was learning the 
patornus, when he heard a voice he assumes to be his dad tell his mom 
to take Harry and run.  The second was the part Geoff quoted, at 
which time Harry saw, but didn't hear, his dad. 

I took it to mean that Harry had made the mistake of thinking he was 
his dad before (during the Dementor attack) and could possibly have 
made it again under vmonte's theory of timetravelling!Harry, in which 
Harry goes to GH.  This theory assumes that Harry had heard his own 
voice rather than his dad's telling Lily to take Harry and run.  

I think that was the mistaken identity vmonte was referring to.  
Please correct me if I am wrong, vmonte.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.  As of 7:00 this morning, I'm on 
vacation for 4 days!  Woo-hoo!
