Scarlett replies:

I had not read that interview before...I think it is even more clear that the "awful boy" was not James....

I agree that this will be important in book 7...

As I posted earlier I also think Snape is that "awful boy"

Scarlett replies:

Very interesting point on dementors!!!

I had not previously noticed that passage in which Snape has another
way to deal with dementors....good catch....I agree that there may
be a clue here...

I don't know if you're familiar with the RED HEN website, but she
wrote an article last year about Harry as a horcrux, she hinted that
perhaps a 'dementor's kiss' could be used to destroy a horcrux.

It seems a dementor could quite easily suck the soul out of an
object...maybe that is one method by which Harry can destroy a
horcrux object...

The more complicated question is will Harry or LV attempt to use a
dementor to retrieve a soul from each other?  A dementor can suck
the soul out and leave a person alive, but if Harry has a piece of
LV, how can a dementor retrieve that piece and still leave Harry's
soul intact?

Perhaps LV could attempt to get his soul out of Harry. If Harry
were a horcrux, would not Voldemort have only to destroy Harry's soul
to reclaim Harry as a horcrux? Then it wouldn't matter if Harry was
filled with love....  But how can he destroy Harry's soul and still
retain the portion necessary for him?

Interesting questions....
