| Somewhere in Order of the Phoenix (I can't find the page number,
| please help me)  Ginny is talking to Harry about being possessed by
| Voldemort and losing conciousness for hours at a time.  The
| words "Harry's heart began to soar."  is written.  Is this a typo.
| Is Harry's heart sore because his body is being manipulated by the
| Dark Lord or is his heart begining to soar because he is happy?  It
| would make more sense if he was sad with being controlled by a
| murder who killed his parents.  Why would his heart be soaring?

[Lee]:
Soaring with relief because he now understands that he, in fact, was not
really possessed.

Harry was, IMHO, so involved with his own feelings and trials that the
memory of what Ginny may have experienced in COS completely eluded him.
He's in that mode where he thinks no one can possibly understand what he's
going through, and fails to recall that Ginny had lived through being
controlled by Tom's memory...basically possessed by it and made to do things
and find herself in situations she couldn't remember doing or getting into.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
