Hm... tangentially, I like the suggestion that Neville and Harry form 
a two-pronged threat to Voldemort, whereas Voldemort has separated 
himself from the Tom Riddle portion of his humanity, then split 
himself again in leaving a portion (if not an equal half) of his LV 
essense with the infant Harry.  By this logic, LV is getting to be a 
real "house divided" essentially...
