I was thinking on interesting parallels in HP/
alchemy. There have been many vouching for parallels
of alchemy in HP. Alchemy's primary colours are Red,
White and Black.

Now Book 5 saw Sirius BLACK (BLACK) die, Book 6 saw
ALBUS (Albus means WHITE) Dumbledore hence an
extrapolation towards RED.... which leaves..... RUBEUS
(Rubeus means RED) Hagrid. I think though Harry trusts
Dumbledore's powers, he loves Hagrid and we all know
this book is all about the power of love.

Just my 2 cents,
Gopal.
