arwengryffin:
It's all very interesting.  Obviously, there is a lot we don't know
about that Halloween night at Godric's Hollow and it is going to be
critical for the end of the series.  There does seem to be an
important link between Lily and Harry.  We are told repeatedly that
he has his mother's eyes.  Ms. Rowling has said this is indeed
important and we will learn more about this and about Lily in Book
7.  Including what she did for a living, which I think will also
prove to be important.  We know she cast a spell right before she
died.  We know it was crtically important and that it protected
Harry.  However, we don't know exactly what it is.  Is there any
chance that Harry has not part of Voldemort's soul, but part of his
mother's?
