Zonko: Hello
1] I do get that this is about love not just blood but V did have physical reactions - can't touch, can't possess- to Harry's love-filled body and I was just pondering that.
2] Though D probably did the secret keeper (term?) thingy for the Potters' in hiding and the 'keep safe with the Dursleys' spell for Harry, I still don't see why it wasn't all Lily for the big, 'save Harry's life' spell against V? Sorry I can't look up where you justify this thought 'cause Aus hardback editions of OotP only go to page 766. Funny hey?! What did you get that we didn't??????!!!!!!! Or is yours in bigger print?HEEHEE (Oopps...Not that there's anything wrong with that...This political correctness is really tiring. Particularly for us non-touch-typists (Not that there's anything wrong with that either...I give up!))
3] 26 years difference between V and Lily is nothing when the mood is right and the curtains are drawn... and the lights are out...or you are Woody Allen.
4] Pretty sure that Marvolo was Tom's granddad; his mum's dad, Tom was V's father's name I think. Happy to be wrong but.
5] I've read snippets of your 'eye colour' theory before. You've clearly posted it a couple of times since then 'cause it's very precise now: Clear Eye. You may well be right. You're V.V.clever for spotting it. You may have spotted THE big clincher that is the clue to...everything, or you may have spotted that JKR is an 'eye girl' (this just makes you a Spotted Dick

-couldn't help it). Eyes are something JKR may notice in people and therefore, it's what she describes to relate her picture of the characters. We await with baited breath. (What does this term mean? Maybe in olde England, when they were really hungry and had the plague, they'd lure dogs (sorry Potterdog)...I mean bears into their mouths by rolling out their bubolic tongues as bait.)
