except that C!M is talking from experience about every other 
AK/wizard he's known. *HE* has never seen anyone be able to resist 
it, but then he's never met Harry before and neither had Voldy. So, 
C!M is'nt wrong based on what AK SHOULD do, but he hadn't figured on 
Harry and his protection.

Having said all of this, it's either a Flint or significant that the 
AK aimed at Harry didn't figure in the priori incantatem as I've 
said before (post 112086), not least because JKR calls it a killing 
curse (post 112146 quoting Edinburgh August 04 interview transcript) 
and this is in favour of the idea that it WAS an AK.

Taken over by Voldy? yes, how horrific? yet it seems to have 
happened anyway/ What if it would have been much worse/total had 
Lily NOT intervened? GH seems to have fused *some* aspects of Harry 
and Voldy, not least parselmouth and who knows what else. Perhaps 
Voldy thought 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'? If this kid has 
powes to vanquish me then why don't I just take them into myself? An 
error. It left his conscious part disembodied.

Hmmm, a theory? - well see.
