Julia here:
Well, when I've read this theory something comletly different came
to my mind... IMO the closest thing to Boggart - something
that "works" in the same way (and probably not on a base of
legilimency) is the mirror of Erised. When we look in this mirror we
see our deepest and truest desires and when we look at the Boggart
we see our deepest and truest fears... I think that these
two "things" can be compared.
And when we know that Dumbledore who is a master in occlumency sees
something in the mirror (maybe socks, but I'm not quite sure :D)
than we can assume that the Boggart wont probably have any problems
with transforming into something that DD fears...
And I dont agree with vmonte cause IMO EVERYBODY has some fears,
smaller or bigger but still they exists, and the whole funny thing
about Boggarts is that they can show us (and others too! - mrs
weasley's boggart) what our greatest weakness is...
vmonte responds:
The mirror and the boggart can be compared for sure. And doesn't DD
say that the happiest man would look in the mirror and just see
himself?
As far as the boggart comment I made. What I said was that a boggart
would affect everyone that had fears (which is most everyone). The
only person I could possible see coming to grips with his fears at
the end of the series is Harry. That's just MO, of course.
