Although, I can't really add much to this conversation, I do want to
point out the aspect of this dream that I find most interesting.

Harry doesn't remember the dream.

The dream itself has already been quoted in this thread, but here is
the next line that comes after the dream.

--- PS/SS - Am Ed, HB pg 162 ---
...there was a burst of green light and Harry woke, sweating and shaking.

He rolled over and fell asleep again, and when he woke the next day,
he didn't remember the dream at all.

Don't you find it odd that the author would give us, the reader,
insight into such a strange dream, but not allow the character to
remember it.

I guess on one hand, that's not that uncommon, all of us frequently
wake from dream, and the memory of those dreams quickly fade from out
mind. So, it may have been nothing more than that.

But still... it seems odd.

Not worth much, but there it is.
