This is an EXCELLENT point, Neri.  I definitely think it's a bi-
directional channel.  I remember DD telling Harry that Voldy didn't 
USED to know that Harry was feeling his [Voldy's] strong emotions 
along with him, but that after the attack on Arthur, he DID realize 
that Harry was "there" and that he guessed, correctly, that the 
process worked in reverse.  So, yes, I think you're right about that.

I guess that leaves the question of what it is Voldy "sees" or 
senses when he gets into Harry's mind.  I thought it was mostly 
sensate, rather than actual thoughts or hearing dialogue or anything 
like that, but I have to confess that I don't know that for sure.  
Your question of how Voldy knew that DD was *present* and so that it 
was the right time to hit Harry w/ a surge of "attack" or "hate" or 
whatever it was, is a good one.  Is there any way it was from the 
emotions Harry himself was experiencing at the time, or was it more 
likely a visual?  What do others think??
