Horcruxes to this connection is that it was the Horcruxes Voldemort 
had made prior to that night at Godric's Hollow that kept the 
killing curse from working.  Had he not had at least one Horcrux, 
the killing curse would have worked, Voldemort would have died, end

Tonks:
I agree that something happened between Harry and LV that never 
happened before and because of Lily's death. Like Peggy said it was 
the failed curse that linked them. I think that LV had all of his 
Horocruxes in place when he AK'ed Harry. He came there to kill Harry 
not to use him as or for a Horocrux. This I think if for no other 
reason than our sneeky author. It would be too easy of us to guess 
that now that we know about them, so that is not what she is going 
to do.

I am thinking out loud here, hoping for some help to formulate an 
idea about what happened with the 3 of them.

Let us look at LV, Lily and Harry from a different angle. Take the 
personalities out of it and look at what each might represent as 
concepts.

Lets say LV= death   Lily= Love and Harry= ?

Lily implies something pure. And this brings to mind the Unicorn. So 
what happens when evil touches something pure? When evil murders the 
innocent?  When Death and Love meet? Remember these are important 
themes to Rowling. I am trying to grab at a philosophical idea I 
think. Help!! There are folks here much more knowledgeable than I am 
in this area.

Trying to think my way to the ancient magic, but it is very hard to 
do.  But it is exciting to try to crack the mystery. Like a 
detective. But I am a bit stumped on this one. There are pieces 
missing
  what are they?

Death is Immortal. Death can not be killed. Death can only kill. But 
Love is stronger. Why? Again what happens when death means something 
pure. When death meets the greatest form of Love? 

Looking for a little brainstorming session here. Any takers??
