Tonks:
Randy, I have been thinking about our theory. There is one small 
glitch, which if anyone else was reading our posts they would have 
jumped on, so maybe no one is reading.  ;-(

Harry's soul is untarnished and whole.  DD says that Harry is "pure 
of heart".  (Which is an important idea in Christian thought.) LV on 
the other hand is very tarnished, and very broken and I don't think 
that even DD, with his loving attitude toward everyone, would see 
anything pure in LV's heart, if he even still has one.  So what will 
this do to Harry when he takes LV into himself?  

Here is a thought.  Love is the greatest of all the powers, magical 
or otherwise, in the universe.  Harry has Lily's blood and now so 
does LV.  If we combine Alchemy, Jung and Christianity here this is 
what we get:  Lily's sacrificial Love not only saves her only son 
(Just as God's Love brings about the resurrection of His only Son) 
but it redeems the most evil among us as personified in LV.  When 
Harry takes LV into himself he is not only doing the Jungian thing 
of taking in his "shadow", but he is, through Lily's blood sacrifice 
and through the compassion that he  might at this point feel for 
Tom, redeeming Tom.  Not we have a bit of a problem with free will 
here. (Which, that one person who is reading this will tell us at 
this point.)

What if, the memory in the cave was Tom's?  I have often wondered 
about this.  I know it is contrary to everything we think we know 
about LV.  But what IF it somehow is Tom's memory?  This will give 
us the permission we need to the job.  What if a part of Tom wants 
to die? Since no one is expecting this, it just might be one of the 
things that JKR is going to surprise us with.  

Now we have the scene where Harry takes Tom into himself.  I expect 
it will be very dramatic with others watching.  Perhaps Snape is 
watching and even Snape knows that Harry's eyes are green like his 
mothers.  Snape also knows the color of LV's eyes and for some 
reason I think Tom's were brown. (Can't remember where in the books, 
but aren't we told that Tom's eyes are brown somewhere?)  Snape, 
because he is an occlumens, will be one to remember eye colors.  
Picture it:  Harry takes Tom into himself, there is a struggle and 
we see Harry's eyes turn to yellow slits and Snape is ready to AK 
him when we see Harry's eyes turn to brown.  Snape pauses, looks 
deeply, and just before Snape AK's Tom, Harry's eyes become green 
and look at Snape deeply.  Snape lowers his wand as he remember Lily 
and her Love, even for him.  And Snape lives too.

If anyone other than Randy is reading this, what do you all think?
