Luckdragon: 
I keep wondering if this phrase doesn't imply more about the 
storyline than we may think. Division plays a role in many ways in 
the story:

- division between the muggle and wizarding worlds
- division of good vs. evil
- division between various classes(caste) and species(racism)
- poor vs. wealthy
- division of students into houses according to character/personality 
traits.
- division of wizards from various parts of the world, different 
schools, different quidditch teams etc.

Then the references indicating a division/melding of sorts affecting 
Voldemort and Harry in particular:

-Tom means twin
-Voldemort gave some of himself to Harry when he tried to curse him.
-Voldemort received some of Harry's blood in GOF.
-Harry is able to see what Voldemort see's and vice versa
-Harry and Voldemort are able to share some thoughts
-Both have similar traits
-Both have the ability to be powerful.
-Both have similar features, characteristics, etc.
-Both are orphans,similar parentage, schooling, etc

Is Jo trying to show us how division causes discord and possibly the 
joining or melding together of all these fragmented pieces might end 
in harmony. I have no idea how this will come about. but it is food 
for thought.
