Oh gosh I love it!  You see I thought Rowling's message was love 
lol. Love being the magic Voldemort could not comprehend. Love 
overpowering strength. It was Lily's love that saved and gave 
Harry power. Not Jame's courage who fought Voldemort without a 
wand when he came upon them. It was love that took Harry to the 
MoM Love that repelled Voldemort from Harry's body when he 
attempted to enter him (sorry my English fails me at times!)
LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Then I thought how weird, she doesn't really know or show love, 
just tells us. I'm glad to know now it was courage because 
whilst Snape was courageous he did not know love...(yeah I 
know a recurring sore point with me!!! :))

Maybe I should get my head out of 1 Corinthians 13. Or maybe 
love does conquer all just not in Rowling's world :D

Yes I am rather daft, no wonder I find Volder's so reprehensible.

Hope this one sneaks in over the quote <g>
