Mind-linked!Snape (Part IV: TBAY conclusion)

I really like this mind-link theory with Snape. Yes, the Dark Mark
could very well serve as the link - (honest, if Voldemort can do this
with one person, why would he use ONLY one? Surely having MORE people
similarly linked does more good than just one?)

And besides, "You of all people should have known...", and the Mark
reacts to Voldemort's strenght etc.

Such a mindlink is also very effective and secure method of
communication. No outsider is to get it!

AND it also explains nicely why Harry's scar burned ONLY during the
moment Snape's eyes were on his. Possibly Voldy was taking over Snape
AGAIN at that time, if only briefly, in order to attempt/do Legilimens
on Harry, seeking information for what went wrong that night.
(Quirrell can't do legilimens) Of course, as Harry knew nothing of it,
no memories came up.

Just one thing: I think it's possible that Voldemort *knows* of it,
but decieves Snape to think he doesn't - so he can feed false
information trough Snape as well! If he did it with Harry, why not
Snape as well?

Anyway, I think the mind-link is a combination of both transfer-potion
(no doubt including blood) and a curse.

First, the potion puts the copy of the powers into that another person
- (as Polyjuice Potion with appearance). If Voldemort were only to
possess, he could do it and keep the powers, only Lily's love &
sacrifice prevents it. (He's may have done this with all his DEs, or
possibly only Snape.)

However, the Potion has a side-effect: combined with a scar-leaving
curse, it creates a mind-link connection. To say the curse made the
connection, would be a simplification, not a lie.

Dumbledore may have thought that Snape could help Harry to block that
mind-link, having done something very similar himself. He was wrong.
Despite the similarities, Harry's connection IS different because the
curse and the scar is different. Snape's mark was made deliberately,
with intent and by *mind*, whereas Harry's scar is a result of
*emotion*, and certainly not what was intended.

Harry&Snape's block-Voldemort-programs are such opposites, due to the
different curse, that trying to practice with Snape IS making things
worse.
