The Eihwaz rune is very interesting to read about while reading about
Harry. It is lightening bolt shaped, it represents "strength,
reliability, dependability, trustworthiness. Enlightenment, endurance.
Defense, protection. The driving force to acquire, providing
motivation and a sense of purpose. Indicates that you have set your
sights on a reasonable target and can achieve your goals. An honest
man who can be relied upon." 

it also is represented by the Yew Tree, the very wood that Voldie/
Tom's wand is made of. Also, "Eihwaz is the axis around which all else
revolves and from which all else spins. It contains the mystery of
life and death. It is a life giving force which has its roots in the
Underworld and death."

which seems very interesting and relevent to the story, as there is a
lot about death and rebirth in the series as well as other things
listed about the said rune ( i have a bit more about it in message
90090). 

Eihwaz represents life and rebirth as well as death. THe yew is
symbolic of death as well. Holly is the symbol of rebirth, and the
only feathers that Fawkes the Pheonix gives for wands are the core of
both a yew and a holly, which choose Tom Riddle and Harry respectively.

So, after all of this, what can we understand from these connections?
I think that there is something to all of this, but I can't quite tie
it all together. So what do you guys think the significance of it all
is?  I just wish I could see the significance of Harry's wand being of
holly, other than rebirth? i don't see any runes that symbolize the
holly, so i think i am missing something.
