Okay - as someone who's been playing with astrology since the Johnson  
Administration (that's Lyndon, NOT Andrew!), I have to admit I check out every  
aspect I can think of.  Now it's asteroids...  I was looking into my  Chiron sign 
- the "Healing Sign", where the asteroid named for Chiron,  the wounded 
centaur healer of Greek mythology, is  placed - when I realized how much it sounded 
like a particular Potions  Master.  Sure enough - whether he was born in 1959 
or 1960, Chiron is in  Aquarius:
===============
Chiron in Aquarius
 
If Chiron falls in Aquarius in your chart, you bear the pain of alienation,  
of isolation from those around you. No matter how you try to ingratiate 
yourself  into a crowd -- through being yourself or acting the part of an insider -- 
it  seems like you just can't fit in. At the heart of Aquarius is the need to 
belong  to a group and feel part of some larger significant force. When 
Chiron is in  Aquarius, you feel so outside of things, so eccentric and yet lost in 
the crowd  that you may pull back completely, affecting aloofness when really 
you're  yearning to approach people and share your energy. Rather than 
pulling away  or pretending to be someone you're not, Chiron in Aquarius compels you 
to  be yourself and cherish your eccentricity. Once you know that you have  
consequence and that you, as an individual, can make a difference, you open  
yourself (and your wound) up to the world and share what you have learned from  
your pain. Give your time to causes that encourage expression of 
individuality,  like support groups for those dealing with their sexuality or to 
progressive  causes that champion human rights.  
================ 
As for Harry, his Chiron is in Taurus - a placement shared by Hermione AND  
Ron: 
Chiron in Taurus  
If Chiron falls in Taurus in your chart, you bear a pain of neglect or that  
what you have is never enough. This Chironic placement makes a person who --  
because of a wound of neglect (perhaps your parents were stingy with affection 
 or even completely closed off from you) or actual physical hunger -- bears a 
 mental or physical pain that weakens the spirit and body. At the heart of 
Taurus  is a yearning for security and the pleasure of sensory stimulation: 
food,  physical affection, bodily nourishment. Taurus loves to indulge, but with 
Chiron  in Taurus, you're never quite full; as your stomach can feel empty, so 
too can  your heart. Rather than wallowing in the haze of your hunger for what 
you  lack, Chiron in Taurus encourages you to appreciate what you have. By  
cherishing gifts you already possess, you can share what you've learned from  
your pain with others. Give your time to causes dealing with a lack of  
resources: homelessness, hunger, neglected children, or for those wanting for  
affection or sensory or material comfort.  
=========================== 
FWIW - I see that placement very clearly in the boys, but Hermione doesn't  
seem to me to be "neglected", unless her parents didn't support her  
intellectually (that's the obvious area where she has "never enough"). 
And JKR claims she doesn't know astrology! 
FWIW,
