With this in mind, I've been practically tripping over references to 
things being split  or paired.  Here are a few on my mind:

1.  Fred and George: They are not just twins. They seem to be wholly
of the same mind; finishing each others' thoughts and such.  They can
truly be described as one mind in two bodies.

2.  Don't know how I neglected to  mention it the first time around,
but the green-smoke snake which issues from Dumbledore's instrument as
he murmurs "But in essence divided?"  It splits into two snakes in
answer to his question.

3. When Voldie possesses Harry in the MOM: "...they were fused
together, bound by pain...."

4.  And where is it that Harry feels as if his head will split open,
split in two, or some such thing? I know I've seen it...
