Chys: 
I know I'm a bit late but here's my take; I like to talk too! 

The numbers representing the books and the tasks that HRH had to 
live through to get to the stone makes perfect sense. 

Does the stone itself have a symbolic meaning or reference in this 
case? (Defeat of LV or something?)

I think that with that reasoning, I agree with everything posted 
in reference to the previous books but in book 5, the Troll would 
be representative of Grawp's participation in the book. (Obviously. 
He's big, dumb and destructive like a troll. Plus he sleeps a lot 
like said troll is unconscious. 

Also- Ron gains a victory in defeating the troll by learning the 
levitation charm. (Just a reference here to book 1 in relation to 
book 5:) Also- Ron gains a personal victory again, of playing 
quidditch at the time that they meet the giant. 

And to finish it- He didn't have to be defeated because he wasn't 
an adersary initially! Grawp is a friend and is helpful when 
unsuspectedly intervening in their defence in the forset- the 
troll helped them to identify it was the quirrel/snape conflict 
incident, leading to a suspicion that started the later adventure, 
didn't it?)

Sorry if someone else came up with this, just my knut on the issue.

Chys, back to reading the books again.
