Well, it ain't a horcrux, but what about a Chocolate Frog card?

Which doesn't mean that he wasn't completely loyal to Dumbledore and against
Voldemort.

Bart:
I have come to the conclusion that the reason why JKR has sworn that she
will not write another book in the Potterverse is because the ending of Book
7 will ensure that it is impossible. My guess: the end of the Wizarding
World in some way, shape or form.

=======================================

Jeremiah:

Ok, Julia. How are you going to get a portrait into a knapsack? IMO the
portraits are HUGE and dragging one along doesn't make sense to me. Now,
Bart, from what I've read from JKR's site, the portraits are very different
from other pictures in the WW. These portraits are more intuitive and can
follow commands where as something like a Chocolate Frog Card just smiles
and waves. So, IMO I would rule out the Card.



Ok, Snape being good or evil: Yikes. I've wanted to breech this subject for
ages on this site. Ummm... here goes my stuff.



I believe Snape and DD are on the same side: that side being the "Voldemort
must be destroyed" side. And why? well, JKR has set up 2 binaries for us.
First: DD & Snape. They are polar opposites as far as Dark Arts and non-Dark
Arts. Snape would never go as far as to breech the laws of nature (killing
someone is within the laws of nature... it's just not a very nice thing to
do). This brings me to the other binary: Voldemort and Harry.



LV and Harry are outside the laws of nature. LV should be able to die. By
creating Horcuxes and splitting his soul Voldemort has taken himself out of
the realms of nature and moved into the supernatural. When LV tried to kill
Harry he created in Harry a supernatural being: One who should have died but
didn't. This is tricky, though, seeing as his mother offered protection but
since it has been mentioned that Harry is the only person to survive the AK
curse I would say he has moved outside the laws of nature. He should have
died that night but something supernatural happened to him.



Therefore: Snape is not "evil" just dark. Just as DD isn't' "good" but
enlightened (not that one cannot overlap with the other... that's why they
are such interesting binaries to me).



So, LV and Harry are joined together as binaries outside the laws of nature,
and the prophesy says "one cannot live while the other survives" and IMO
this can be applied to either of them even though Harry is labeled as "the
boy who lived" he has been referred to as having survived the attack. I
think both Harry and LV will die in the end. They cannot exist and this is
DD's and Snape's main motivation: Restore the balance of nature. (Snape was
going along with DD because DD was the most influential in the WW,,, I think
Snape disagreed with DD's plans but probably feels they were betther than
doing nothing… and DD has had experience with Dark Wizards before…
Grindlewald).



Now, Bart, to destroy the WW is a HUGE step. Also, I think it's not possible
because JKR has said that one of the three (Ron, Hermione and Harry) will
teach at Hogwarts later in life. So, I would assume the WW remains in
existence (though I would hesitate to use the term "in tact") and continues
on. And, I know... I know... Harry dying would suck-big-time but she has
said that 7 books is all there is and Harry's death would definitely make
that a true statement. So would many other scenarios, but I'm in the
"Harry's Gonna Die" camp- but not with any enthusiasm. I'd be happy if I am
wrong.
