Nah the pellet with the poison is in the vessel with the pestle, the 
flagon with the dragon holds the brew that is true!

I don't think the AK rebounds, Harry says in CH36 "Something had 
happened when he had hit Harry with the killing curse. Had 
Voldemort, too, collapsed? It seemed like it. And both of them had 
fallen briefly unconscious and both of them had now returned
"

So not a rebounding AK which explains why Voldemort tried it *yet 
again* in the Great Hall.

The blood connection means that Harry is still alive but temporarily 
hors de combat, it appears if Harry goes down then Voldy who rebuilt 
his body using Harry's blood also goes down. Why? I don't know! It 
does however serve the function of allowing us a glimpse of Voldy's 
future at King's Cross.

Harry already has mastery over the Elder wand, CH36 "I got there 
first. I overpowered Draco weeks ago."

So in the forest it's Harry's wand even though Voldy has his not so 
hot and sweaty hand on it. The AK sort of works because Harry does 
not try to defend himself from the Elder wand. Doesn't work in round 
2 because Harry does.

Narcissa, Draco, Snape, Slughorn are all good Slytherins. I've been 
rethinking the house thing in light of the non redemption of the 
whole house in the series. More later

Oh Kneasy can take care of himself methinks! Can't think why the 
Geist went off the deep end, doesn't seem in character?
