Valky:
I think someone else here said that Sirius could become Harry's link
to his parents, perhaps his mother this time. I'd like to ask, Hans,
in your recent study of the characters did you find anything that
might indicate Sirius' spirit might connect Harry to his mothers
love and guidance in some way?
Hans:
No, I can't see that happening. I think Lily is truly dead.
1. Lily and James are alive in Harry, I believe. There is the constant
reminder of how Harry's general appearance is just like James', but he has
his mother's eyes. What I think this means is that James' and Lily's souls
have been alchemically fused into Harry's. I still have some faint suspicion
that Lily's body is in the Room of Love. I thought once that she might be in
suspended animation, like Venus in the Room of Love in "The Alchemical
Wedding", but Jo has said on her website that Lily is dead.
2. Sirius is in what I have often called "The Real World". This is the
Divine Universe where humanity originally comes from. Harry will join Sirius
there one day, although it may take a long time. This is not where people
normally go when they die, so even if James and Lily's souls were in the
astral plane Sirius would not go down there. To explain what I mean: the
Greeks had what they called Hades and Mt Olympus. Normal people who died
went to Hades. People who had attained immortality went to Mt Olympus (This
is why "The Alchemical Wedding calls the tower of transfiguration the "Tower
of Olympus"). In other words, Lily and James are in Hades while Sirius is on
Mt Olympus. However, as I said in point 1, I think their souls are fused
together in Harry.
3. Jo has given us many clues that Harry Potter is not occult. I think she
would agree that a spiritualist type of communication with the dead is
wrong. The Bible is certainly very clear about not contacting the dead. I
therefore can't see her putting this sort of thing in on principle.
Communicating with the Hogwarts ghosts is quite a different kettle of fish.
Jo has made it clear that these entities are neither alive nor dead.
Sorry for the bad news, Valky, but personally I believe Harry will not have
contact with his parents again except perhaps for the second-hand type like
the Mirror of Erised or Priori Incantatem. He may see Lily's body in The
Room. (I hope so).
I hope I've understood your question properly though. Please excuse me if I
haven't.
Warmest regards to all,
