GEO: We don't know that. It  seems from the recent evidence that 
it's going to be a team effort. As for Harry and Aragorn, both are 
considered the direct enemies of the two Dark Lords despite the fact 
that Aragorn could never defeat Sauron just as Harry presently has 
no hope of defeating Voldemort by himself.

GEO: And Aragorn inherited the Ring of Barahir, the shards of Narsil 
and the scepter of Arnor from his family legacy kept in trust by the 
elves.

GEO: They aren't a direct analogue, but both kept Aragorn and Harry 
safe from their enemies while they were children.

GEO: Thats rather minor. Besides the thing between Boromir and 
Faramir is rather similar to Sirius and Remus, which is why I'm more 
inclined toward Sirius as Boromir and Quirrel died unrepentent 
unlike Boromir who died fighting the enemy like Sirius did.

GEO: That never happened in the book. Aragorn wanted the throne.

GEO: He was one of the five wizards along with Gandalf and Saruman 
sent to ME by the Powers of the West and like Hagrid he had a 
fondness for the wilderness and its beasts which eventually caused 
him to stray though from his mission and like Hagrid Radagast was 
thought to be a simpleton by many.

GEO: I doubt it, he's more of an analogue of Chamberlain and the 
typical politician so I'm guessing he's still going to be a 
hinderance by overreacting to Voldemort.

GEO: Snape is definitely not Gollum. Snape has a will of his own 
unlike Gollum who is a pawn of the Ring or the Enemy. Again I think 
it's Peter Pettigrew, who is the closest.
