> Valky to Carol:
Hi sorry for the late reply Carol, it seems that this thread is 
getting close to the mark going by all the interest, don't you 
think. ;D
 
Like I said I am entirely dead certain that Lily's brilliance in 
Charmwork relates to what she did in Godrics Hollow that night to 
protect Harry. The most interesting Charm spell we have been shown 
to date is the Fidelius, but I wonder how it is performed, is it 
placed on the Secret Keeper or on the Secret or both? 
The reason I ask is that the Protean Charm that Hermione uses on the 
DA (Newt Level BTW, it is advanced to affect people with charms) 
charms the object and it affects the people that sign 'to the 
object.' I wonder does the Secret keeper have to sign to something, 
too? 

vmonte responds:
This is very interesting. I had to do some research on Runes so that 
I could join in on your discussion. I wanted to add another thought 
to your posts. Several months ago a poster named Jen Reese came up 
with a theory regarding Sirius's induction as Harry's Godfather. She 
described a baptism/contract that bonded Sirius to Harry forever. Do 
you think it is possible that it was during this ceremony that the  
sowulo rune was applied to Harry's head? 

In Christian ceremonies the sign of the cross is made on the child's 
forehead with holy water, perhaps this is when Harry's protection was 
applied. 

  
I've attached some great links below.

"Runic divination or "rune casting" is not "fortunetelling" in the 
sense that one actually sees the future. Instead, runes give one a 
means of analyzing the path that one is on and a likely outcome. The 
future is not fixed. It changes with everything one does. If one does 
not like the prediction, one can always change paths."

vmonte again: Doesn't the above quote sound like something Firenze 
would say? Also, when we first meet Luna on the Hogwarts Express she 
is reading an article on Rune divination. Do you think it will be 
with her help that Harry disregards Trelawny's prophecy to begin 
charting his own way?
