Ceridwen:
You know, it looks like ill-advised splitting is a pattern, too.  
Ignoring part of yourself; rejecting one out of four houses which 
balance each other; cleaving bits of soul alone fits in, then locking 
them away makes it clearer.  So, the fate of Harry, and of Hogwarts, 
taken to extreme, is shown by Voldemort's unnatural appearance.

Just a thought.
