> Harry has all the characterics of a solar hero, he is weak and
> vulnerable at birth and like a weak spark in danger of being
extinguish shortly after birth ( OK that was strechted a year), he is
kept ignorant of his heritage and fate in hiding, he is called to the
quest and to take his destinated place, he refuses to take that place
( only weakly "I am just Harry"), he is presented with gifts, he
takes on the search. he leaves his compagnions behind, he dies (
several times over and mosttime rather symbolic) resurrects and
vanquishes.

Pippin:
Voldemort has all those characteristics too-- he even had true
believers hoping for his return. Which only goes to show, as
Dumbledore said, that it's not how you are born that matters, but what
you grow to be.
