That ugly baby thing.

Having put down the book after reading the King's Cross chapter 
again, I still don't get the whole ugly baby thing. From what I've 
read of the many many many enjoyable, varied and informative 
posts regarding a wide raft of subjects to do with the book, is 
how Voldermort was meant to be an ugly baby under a bench. I 
don't understand the symbolism or maybe the reality? Could 
anyone enlighten me as to what it all meant because it's all been 
lost on me. I go along with Geoff's line (always good to read your 
views, Mr Bannister!) on it being a brief near-death experience for 
Harry, that's how I read it in the first place, but the baby made it 
unpleasant reading and I still don't get it.
Maybe I 'll leave the decaff alone today, if  that's going to help.
