Del replies :
I agree that he discovers then that he's dreaming about something real.

Del replies :
But Harry has been dreaming of that corridor for a whole year now ! Do
you truly think that each time Harry dreams of it, LV actually goes in
the MoM, down in the DoM, through the doors, down the alley in the
Prophecy Room, each time a bit further but never to the end ? I don't
think so. IT's OBVIOUS to me (I emphasize : to me only) that those
dreams are NOT about *realtime* events.

Del replies :
In fact, everything in it was FAKE, but it was all happening in a
place that truly exists. Remember, LV *never* went in the DoM. It's
just like a movie shot in a real location : the place is real, but the
whole story is fake.
