someone point out the meaning of asphodel-- a memeber of the lily 
family, by the way!  It is meant to grow in Hades where the virtuous 
dead are.

what you get when you mix asphodel and wormwood, is Harry himself-- 
Lily + James.  What you actually get is the draught of sleeping 
death IIRC...

Tonks:

Actually it is "Draught of Living Death" (US version)

Is this Snape or Harry?  And if it is Harry as you suggest, how does 
this fit with "neither can live while the other survives"
If Asphodel=Lily, instead of James, is Wormwood LV? and the result 
is when both the sacrifice(lily) and the AK (LV)collide?

Any thought, anyone?
