Great theory! I was trying to think how it would fit in with 
Voldemort's possession of HArry in OOTP. If I remember Harry thought 
he was dying, and DD said that his love for Sirius forced Voldemort 
out of Harry's body. But perhaps this is a smokescreen (as is Lily's 
sacrifice) and actually it is HArry's immortality that eventually 
forced Voldemort to vacate HArry. One question though - does 
Voldemort now realise Harry is immortal?

My theory was always thus - Slytherin & Gryffindor were great 
friends. They became blood brothers i.e swore an oath in their own 
blood. Imagine how powerful that bond would be in the wizarding 
world. This bond is then passed down to the descendants. MAy explain 
the mental link between Harry & Voldemort. May also explain the look 
of triumph in DD, when VOldemort used HArry's blood to reincarnate! 
Finally it may also explain the comment made by JKR i.e. she said 
that DD said he didn't kill Voldy because there are worse things than 
death, but it wasn't the real reason. Perhaps Voldy & Harry are 
linked insuch a way, that to kill one, kills the other. This 
certainly seems to be what Voldemort is implying when he possesses 
Harry, and there is also evidence in the Prophecy to back this up!!
