Tonks:

I am sure that this like everything else has been talked to death 
sometime here, but reading this just got me to thinking about the 
whole "hand of the other" thing.

PP gave his right hand, correct?  I assume that LV is right handed. 
(If he is left handed this would mess up the whole idea.) But what 
does it mean if the right hand that is now part of LV's body is his 
wand hand? And when PP gave his hand did it become LV's right hand 
or just an aid in making his body? If it became LV's right hand and 
LV is right handed, what does this do to the prophesy?  Do you think 
it would be that literal?  I don't think I can get my mind to ponder 
this at the moment, but maybe there is something to the fact that 
possibly LV's wand hand is not his own.  ???

If there is a good post about this whole thing, please lead me to 
it. Thanks.
