The thing that strikes me about the US and UK children's covers is
that both show a stone circle in the background. The center of the
circle on the UK cover is similar to the orange "sky" of the US cover.
The two covers could be showing us views from opposite sides of the
same magical portal. The circle on the UK cover could be the top view
of the apparently circular arch in the background of the US cover.

On the US cover it looks like Harry could be reaching for something.
Reaching for help from the other side of the portal perhaps? Voldemort
almost looks like he is trying to ward off whatever it is that Harry
is reaching for. On the other hand I agree that Harry could have just
released something.

This has nothing to do with covers and I'm not sure where it came
from. It started when I realized that we've never seen Voldemort and
Snape together in the same room at the same time. Could they be the
same ... nah! But somehow *that* gave me my wacky horcrux theory of
the day. Could Snape, not Nagini, have been Voldemort's living
horcrux? When Snape came to Dumbledore he could have revealed this to
him and allowed him to destroy the soul bit he carried? This could be
Dumbledore's secret reason for trusting Snape.

Concerning both horcruxes and covers someone asked if there was any
reason why Harry's scar would disappear before the final shootout in
the OK Corral. Duuhh! I know that many here discredit it and cover art
certainly does not prove it but does no one even remember the
Harry-as-horcrux theory??? There is at least one reason why the scar
would disappear before the showdown.
