Bren now:

With the new "intel" on the title of Book 6, and Steve's suggestion 
that "Pillar of Storge" might be a real object... My first very-
simple guess was that this is the form Sirius takes to come back for 
Harry's protection, as I'm in SAD DENIAL (come on, who isn't? ;P).
 
But Vivian's theory got me thinking. What if 'Pillar of Storge' is 
some sort of magical barrier *inside* Harry that keeps Tom Riddle out 
of Harry's heart/quintessence? As a protection and gift from Lily per 
se, as part of her ancient magic charm... But Harry's not fully 
grown, so this Pillar is perhaps... "semi-permeable" (yes, I study 
science, can you tell? ;P) So when Harry is feeling loved or 
righteous, then this Pillar will become a shield from TR, inhibiting 
the "love-phobic" essence from entering Harry's heart. And when Harry 
starts to lose himself in rage and frustation, the essense of TR will 
penetrate the Pillar, making HArry more vulnerable to danger, etc etc.
 
Come to think of it, this sounds like the way Holy Spirit resides in 
a body/soul of Christian. Just like how Holy Spirit acts/takes over 
when one lets It, and sits quietly in despair otherwise.

"The more clever Potter fans may recognize that 
the title relates directly to both 'Order of the 
Phoenix' and 'Chamber of Secrets.' I will be 
highly amused if one of you can guess exactly 
what's going on!"

In CoS: We are introduced to Tom Riddle, aka Voldemort. In CoS Harry 
believes that T. M. Riddle "seemed to mean something to him, almost 
as though Riddle was a friend he'd had when he was very small, and 
had half-forgotten." page 233-234 US paperback 

And in OOTP: Voldemort realizes the mental connection he has with 
Harry and tries to manipulate his thoughts.

Hmmmm, I need to think about this...
