Mandy here:
I know this has been discussed at length before, but principally it
is this:
It could either be connected to Harry being the sleeping Dragon and
LV is doing the tickling, LV being the sleeping Dragon and Harry
doing the tickling or Draco being the sleeping dragon and Harry
tickling him.
IMO, whatever the connection it has to involve the unification of
the school by the Houses coming together.
So, perhaps the school is the sleeping dragon, or has a dragon under
it. In the Chamber of Secrets perhaps? There is excitement on
MuggleNet about the discovery of a new clue concerning the Chamber
of Secrets. And JKR herself said she almost gave it all away in book
2. What if the monster is not the Basilisk (he was just a pet), but
a Dragon?
So if Hogwarts is a sleeping dragon, perhaps the unification of the
houses awakens it and creates a force that can banish the Army of
Lord Voldemort.
OK now I'm just rambling. More on this later after I thought it
through.
