Laurawkids:

I like the fact that LV now has blood which is *set* to protect 
Harry, even if only by self-preservation and not magic,  and flesh -
from PP's hand -which owes Harry a life-debt.  If PP had not been 
saved by Harry, would there have even been someone who would cut off 
his hand for LV?!

Harry does not want a connection to PP or LV, but now his blood is 
feeding PP's flesh to house LV's bit of soul and intelligence.  
Enough to make me sick, if I were Harry.   

LV may be ignoring old cannibal belief that you gain the qualities of 
those you internalize.  No, strike that, LV does not know all of the 
qualities of the parts he has used.

There are people who have had transplants who realize that they have 
cravings for foods they hated before, and those were favorite foods 
of the donor.  Given that PP has lived as a rat for years, and given 
that rats are copraphagic... <EG>  sorry, I worked with rats and have 
observed all sorts of things. ; ) *Death* Eater?  

Laurawkids up too late again
