GEO: Or it might be because of Voldemort's attempts at immortality. 
If he spent more than thirty years trying to achieve, I'm guessing 
there might at least have some result.

GEO: Proof? Frankly there's whole lotta speculation, not very much 
evidence from the book to back this up.

GEO: You mean like Voldemort's spirit that was attempting to 
possesse Harry at that time? That would be whats causing the pain 
imo.

Voldemort himself describes this same type of

GEO: That would be JKR using similar descriptions to describe 
similar situations. In the MoM scene, Voldemort's spirit is rejected 
from Harry's mind and in the situation at GH, we have his spirit 
getting ripped out of his body. The only revelation that might point 
to is that Voldemort has become more separate from his own body than 
regular humans and wizards.

GEO: Or it just might be a similarity in description and lack of 
originality on the part of the author.
