Late last week I was catching up, if that's what you call it when you 
don't ever actually catch up, and there was a little discussion of 
the notion of Harry as the Philosopher's Stone incarnate, with a link 
to a summary post which I found fascinating.

It got me thinking of the potential for Harry not as a Christ figure, 
but as a Moses figure.  Then I was wondering how that would fit with 
the Stoned!Harry idea.  Anyway, I want to do more research but have 
relatively little time so I'm hoping some of y'all can point me in 
the right direction.

Where can I find more info about the process of making the 
Philosopher's Stone?  Preferably with reference to the world of Harry 
Potter?

In the Stoned!Harry summary post there was much discussion of 
beheadings.  Where did this come from and where can I find more info?

Incidentally, I think you can look at the trio as aspects of one 
person which would make Hermione the head not because she's smart but 
because she's the one who thinks and is responsible.  So if there is 
a beheading, it could be the death of Hermione and Harry could be 
faced with the choice of surrendering potential immortality to 
resurrect her.

Does anyone know a web site with a decent summary of the life of 
Moses?  Not being a terribly religious person I don't know a whole 
lot more about him than the whole bullrushes, raised as a prince, led 
his people out of egypt and gave them the law business.

Anyway, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would 
appreciate it.

Thanks,
