Stacey now:  Do we know that Snape knew of the Horcruxes?  Is there
reference to this in the books?

 

Kathy then wrote:

<snip>Dumbledore said that Voldemort had transferred some of his powers to 
Harry, such as being a parselmouth. Look at POA - Harry stands at the 
lake trying to protect Sirius from the dementors. He succeeds for a 
bit, and then is overtaken. Yet from across the lake he not only 
succeeds in taking care of a few dementors, but actually gets rid of 
all of them.<snip>

 

Stacey:  I always figured that the reason Future!Harry was able to do it was
two-fold: one- he had already done it before (as he says in the movie, can't
remember if this quote is from the book too) and two: Future!Harry has his
full strength on the other side of the lake, whereas Present!Harry is
considerably weakened by the dementors.

 

As for the transfer of power, yes, Dumbledore does say that LV transferred
some of his power to Harry but conversely, one must wonder what will become
of the fact that LV has risen as a result of the inclusion of Harry's blood.
Does the transfer work both ways?  I can't remember if this is the reason
that LV is able to see into Harry's mind and vice versa.

 

Still Kathy:
<snip>Dumbledore said that the Horcruxes are weapons, they protect 
themselves (HBP). <snip>

 

Stacey now: I didn't recall that he said "they protect themselves" although
should this be the case, wouldn't that make it much more plausible that the
locket found at #12 (and that I believe no one could open) was indeed the
Locket!Horcrux in the possession of RAB (and thereby making it VERY
plausible that RAB is Regulus Black!).  I've always like this theory and
that they "protect themselves" makes it more concrete!  Thanks!
