Triumph in DD's eyes

[malfoy_is_good1719]

The part in GOF when DD finds out LV used Harry's blood, and there's triumph in DD's eyes, well we can guess that that was a bad move for LV, but how so?

I'm trying to make a theory about this. Help me come up with one.

[Asphodel]

Well, that proved that he's bound to Harry or something. When you use someone's blood, doesn't that bond you to the person, it seems like something J.K.R. would do.

[Chimera]

Maybe. Maybe it's to do with Voldemort being unable to endure so much love - maybe it'll start to affect him in the long run.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Well he did it so he could have Harry's blood running through his veins, so he could touch him etc.. He probably thought that if there was still protection in the blood he might get a little bit of it too.

There could be a reaction or something?

[malfoy_is_good1719]

Yeah, i was thinking there could have been something Lord ZVoldemort overlooked, like the side affects of having your enemies blood.

I was thinking LV might not be able to kill HP because they're like blood, but then i realized Bellatrix killed Sirius, so that couldnt work.

[Chimera]

I still think it's the love angle. Remember how Harry felt pain when Voldemort was feeling anger, rage or hatred? Maybe now Voldemort will feel pain whenever Harry feels love. Maybe it'll mess with his head. Here's hoping.

[malfoy_is_good1719]

Wow that would be good for Harry.. i could imagine the final scene:

Harry and LV fight with all of the order and the Death Eaters. Harry's and LV's wand perform Priori Incantatem and Harry sees his mother and father, maybe one of his friends that Voldemort had recently killed...

Harry's heart would fill with love, and LV's head would hurt so much he would fall, leaving Harry enogh time to kill him..

(actully im not sure harry would kill LV, but you never know)

[Chimera]

Neither can live while the other survives.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

How can you say what Voldemort is experiencing is life?

It's been mentioned before.

Thinking about it, possibly Harry is the only one truly living.

Hmm. Prophecy's interesting really.

I wonder if there's an importance in the difference between "living" and "surviving".

[malfoy_is_good1719]

There's a difference. LV isnt living. His soul can never be rejoined with his body, but he is surviving, in his body with a 7th of hi soul.

[darkcloak]

Yep I like to think that the love carried in Harry's veins has passed into Voldemort.

Also now that we've found out that he's only got 1/7th of a soul left, it may be that it can be overwhelmed somehow?

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

I don't think any of that love in the blood business need carry on any further. Frankly I think Harry should find a practical way and actually defeat him rather than have another lucky fluke.

But there is undeniably signifiance is the gleam of triumph in Dumbeldore's eyes... so unfortunately it probably will be something like that.

love in the blood*

Someone edit that and delete this if there are any active moderators.

[youknowwho]

Perhaps voldemort using harry's blood sealed the prophesy by making them almost one person. this would indicate that they could not exist simultaniuosly.

[GodrictheGriffon]

Of course it did. This was explained in OotP.
