Bren now:

Hmm, I took the meaning of 'Pillar of Storge' to be both 
literal/physical and thematic/metaphorical.  As for the thematic 
interpretation of 'Pillar of Storge', well I'm not a philosopher nor 
do I pretend to be, so I'm going to go with other posts and just nod 
along.

As for 'Pillar of Storge' being a real object, the first thing that 
came to my mind was the Gargoyle door leading to DD's office, for 
some odd reason.  But assuming that there is a consistency in the 
book titles, every new title object had been, well, NEW in each book.

So my SIMPLE guess is that 'Pillar of Storge' is the form in which 
Sirius takes to come back for Harry's protection (can you spell SAD 
DENIAL? lol)

Any more creative ideas, as usual ;P ??
