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 ??

Here is a thought.  We have heard that a graveyard scene may be introduced in one of the remaining books.  Could this Pillar be in the graveyard?  If so, would it represent an archway or statue?  Or would this actually be a grave marker?  And if a grave marker, whose?

moonmyyst (even if we are totally off, this is a lot of fun to speculate!! You guys have some great ideas)
