Iggy here:

Hmmm... This makes me wonder if it's not a form of...well... "harmonic
love."

That Voldemort will be defeated when Harry eventually finds a way to go
beyond the rivalry of the houses and unite them in a common cause.  To
get them to recognize that there must be a unity there, and even a love
of your fellow student that goes beyond the instilled prejudices or
evolved divisions.

This, in its way, can actually go along with the agape love concept...
because once you get past your suppositions, your prejudices, and your
competitiveness, then you are left with either agape love or fraternal
love.  (Which can be the other form of love that might be in there...
love of one's fellow man/woman that eliminates prejudices... Which is
another form Voldemort is unfamiliar with.)

The four chambers/houses unite to form one pure heart.


(*yeesh* Why do I feel like I'm writing the proposal for a "Captain
Planet" spin-off?)
