David:

I like where you're going with this.

What is Harry's greatest desire? From the Mirror of Erised, we know 
it's to be reunited with his parents. Did his mother, guessing the 
inevitable, arrange for her 'spirit/soul' to meld with Harry 
following her sacrifice? Was James involved? Was Dumbledore? As 
smart as Dumblydorr is, you have to think he believed LV would 
eventually bypass the Potter's 'invisibility. He certainly believed 
LV could cheat death.

I haven't worked it all out yet, but here are some factors that I 
believe may be involved:

- Harry's power more eminates from Lily and James and their 
sacrifice than from LV curse transfer
- Possibly the most telling scene to date was the GoF graveyard 
battle. Harry's brain power to force the curse junction back into 
LV's wand, over-coming LV's will. Is Harry now really the summation 
of 3 people?
- I just think ole' Godric Gryff. is involved in this. Was Lily or 
James a descendant, and thus Harry? I go back to DD's statement in 
CoS where he told Harry it would take a 'true Gryffindor' to pull 
GG's sword out of the hat.

Part of the above theory has DD also sacrificing himself and melding 
with Harry, thus completing him and creating the weapon LV can't 
destroy. In some respects this matches one of the central themes of 
this story...none of us are in this alone and we are far stronger 
standing together.

I certainly believe DD knows more about the above and will start the 
download with Harry after the ending of OoTP.

Still working on it.
