Valky: *red as a tomato*
Thankyou very much Jen, I had really hoped it was not rambling.

I've always felt there was more to Voldemort's 'gift for spreading 
discord and enmity' but never thought through it. I always imagined 
it as him putting a Confusing & Befuddlement Draught in the pumpkin 
juice supply,

Valky: LOL ahh yes it could of course be that too!

Ok now the hard part. 
It has taken me a couple of days to reply to your post, Jen. Because 
you have made a contribution worthy of a lot of deep thought. 
I so entirely agree with what you are saying it has inspired me to 
post all over the place about Fawkes and Harry (see 'Think on 
This...' thread and 'DD as DADA Teacher' as well, among others) but 
til now I hadn't really been able to think of a way to give you a 
solid reply.

Just a bit more of your post should help it make sense...

You said:
> And that leads me to wonder, Dumbledore and the Prophecy both 
place such importance on how many times a person defies Voldemort. 
Here's the balance issue again. If more and more people speak his 
name and  act in defiance of him, including his 'loyal' followers, 
will it be like the dueling brother wands, as slowly, very slowly, 
the fear gets pushed back onto Voldemort himself?

Now in reply (me):
Yes thats quite what I am saying. And Voldemort will be revealed as 
a pathetic frightened wretch, but even then noone will actually be 
able to defeat him because he is made indestructable by Harrys 
dominion at that point. 
I know Harry would be merciful to the withered wretched LV/Tom. And 
when he does he will have made the wisest choice of all, because he 
will be standing in exactly the same scenario as LV did at Godrics 
Hollow.
It would backfire on Harry, but he wont need to know this, he'll 
make the right choice anyway.
