After a bad day there's nothing so good as a boost to the ego.
Thank you.

But you're giving me an excuse to re-introduce a subject I've posted
on before (twice!) and received almost no response - that dream.

It is foreshadowing, it must be. It's intended solely for us, the readers.
What other purpose could it possibly have? - the text states explicitly
that Harry never remembers it!

There are clues there, jumbled as in any dream - but if they can be 
teased out it might (should!) give us a guide to what has happened
and what might yet happen. I find Draco melding into Snape particularly
intriguing -  especially because at this point in the story Harry  has 
not met Snape, he's only seen him from a distance.

A tight turban insisting that he must transfer to Slytherin - Malfoy -
Snape - and a green light.

We now know that behind that turban was Voldy;  is it Voldy that 
wants Harry in Slytherin or is it a hold-over from the Hat's comments?
Is the green light past or future? Malfoy becomes Snape - how?

For a conspiricist it's almost all  too much.
