Pastafor5:

You could be on to something here.  This is also part of the ballet 
story "The Firebird" (phoenix?).  In the version of this story that 
I've read, the evil Kotschei keeps his soul in an egg in a box.  The 
firebird lulls the evil creatures who serve Kotschei 
(dementors/death eaters?) to sleep so the hero can get to the box to 
destroy the egg.

Interesting.  I'm thinking Voldemort could somehow have his soul 
magically protected within himself.  Could the dementors play a roll 
in retreiving it?

(side note - I hope this is OK to post here:  To all in London who 
have been affected by the horrible events there this morning, you 
are in my prayers.)
