Silvana:
I like to compare the characters JKR develops with Tolkien's LOTR. JKR
herself once stated writing her books she was inspired by Tolkien's work.

I made up some ideas of who might be who, but I had doubts about who is
Aragorn.
I admit that I thought of Ron because of the Quidditch-jingle "Weasley is
our king". But it didn't fit that good - Ron seems more to be Sam.

Reading your suggestion about Slytherin himself falling through the Veil, I
came up with another idea:
How about Sirius being Aragorn? Then the Ministry of Magic might be Helms'
Deep and Sirius falling through the Veil might be a comparable parallel of
Aragorn calling the Army of the Dead for help. So maybe Sirius WILL come
back and bring some people with him who fell through the Veil - even
Slytherin himself - to help defeat Voldemort (= Sauron).

For all we know Voldemort was in Slytherin-house and Sauron has been a
student of a former dark lord...

Which location might be Minas Tirith the White City? I don't think it's
Hogwarts... Maybe it could be No. 12 Grimmauld Place... IF Siruis is Aragorn
this would be the place he heirs...

Comparing the other characters here is my list:
Harry Potter = Frodo Baggins
Ron Weasley = Sam Gamgee
Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) = Wormtongue
Dumbledore = Gandalf
Fred & George Weasley = Merry & Pippin
Lucius Malfoy = Saruman
Rubeus Hagrid = Treebeard

I'm not sure about:
Lupin = Faramir
Fudge = Theoden

I still wonder about who might be comparable to:
Hermione Granger
Severus Snape
the other stuff-members
the other Weasleys

What do you think???

Sorry if it is too weird.
