Ok, so the book is from Harry's POV (Point of View) For most of the 
story- But how come when he wakes from the dream/vision of Frank Bryce 
being murdered does he SEE (or try to which implies he's in a vantage 
point to be looking!) LV sitting in his chair (as if he's from Frank's 
POV) and then sees Frank falling to the floor? Wouldn't Frank have 
been behind him from that vantage point, or am I missing something 
here?

Page 17, chapter 2: The Scar, scholastic version for reference if you 
want to read what I was reading.

He sees Peter/Wormtail and the snake as well, and this is my 
confusion: Where is he in the room, if he has a mental connection, 
through that scar of his to LV? Is he like a ghost watching, or like 
an intruder in LV's mind?

Hasn't he seen from LV's eyes at some point, like in the MOM with the 
snake biting Arthur? Shouldn't he see from his eyes every time he has 
a vision? Or does he only see through others eyes (Like seeing inside 
the DOM doors, and the pathway to the prophecy shelf, someone other 
than LV had seen it right? So was LV projecting it to him?) 

Also, though I'm not too sure about this part;
Why does he seem to feel the pain of the people that LV 
kills/tortures? (This is the feeling I got from all the books. I don't 
quite follow it though. Maybe it's just the scar, but I don't 
understand it. It was mentioned on this page too, when Harry saw LV in 
the chair, or tried to, right at the moment when LV killed Frank. It's 
been mentioned in many many fanfics as well, so I assume other people 
have caught this feeling from his scar pains as well, based on their 
interpretation of the events in their writings, so is there any truth 
to it?)


I would really appreciate if someone can clear this up for me.

Thanks,
Chys
