Snip

Randy adds:

By the way, if you think the eye of Horus is some obscure symbol of 
the ancients, take out a US one dollar bill and look at the eye of 
Horus above the pyramid.  The eye of Horus is also used to represent 
healing in medical symbols when placed over two serpents placed 
around a staff.  Two serpents reminds me of the image that 
Dumbledore sees with his office instruments in OOP.

For any of you "nominal" ancient Eqyptian religious believers, the 
eye of Horus is supposed to represent the eye of God.  The eye is 
split into seven pieces.  It is now believed to represent the sun 
during a solar eclipse.  

The solar eclipse is sometimes shown as a winged disk.  The winged 
disk is like a fire bird which is sometimes called the Phoenix.  The 
winged disk is another ancient Eqyptian symbol that appears many 
places.  During the solar eclipse the fire of the sun is 
extinguished and thus the bird dies.  He later rises from the ashes 
when the eclipse ends.

I think that protective healing powers, Lily's eyes, Lions, 
Serpents, and the Order of the Phoenix could be related to the 
mythology of Horus.

What do you guys think?
