bboyminn:

No it wasn't me, thought I have spoken on the subject a time or two. 

Just before HBP was released someone on this list proposed the idea of
hiding a persons soul or heart in an object. They even sited examples
of mythology and legend from various cultures around the world; amoung
them Russian, I believe. 

The idea generated very little discussion, and I personally thought it
was extremely unlikely. But then I was the person who said that the
one person who absolutely could not and would not die in OotP was
Sirius Black. 

I don't think any would mind if that person stepped forward and took a
well deserved bow, and if possible, referenced us back to that
original post. I've searched for it in the past, but haven't been able
to find it.

Just passing it along.
