hmm, maybe. and re-reading his posts i think i misunderstood his
arguments because i didn't know how he had misunderstood the theory i
was putting forward...

hehe, but it's not so bad wanting to know the theory if you can't
possibly put it into practice (being a Muggle and all )

ooo, good point, no one else has caught me on this! mmm, now i'm back
to wondering why harry's scar causes him pain at V's proximity. It
could be that V's soulbit in Nagini is right at home and therefore
doesn't feel attracted when V is near. Whereas the soulbit in harry is
ill at ease sharing a body with harry's untarnished/pure soul so when
it senses V's soul maybe by it feels the attaction. I know this might
make it seem like the soul bit has a mind of it's own, but i don't mean
it that way. i see the soulbit's feeling of ease/discomfort and how it
responds to that (i.e. whether it feels attacted to V or not) as a
reactionary thing not something it thinks about and does. but whether
this is the explanation JKR has in mind, i don't know. but i sure hope
there is further explanation of why harry's feels /pain/ when V is near
in book7, i don't think it is suffiecently addressed in the books so

And according to the theory V didn't realise about harrys being a
Horcrux/or having his soulbit in him until OftP. So no i'm not saying
it's something V is doing consciensly

>>From my understanding of CoS, Tom Riddle enchanted the diary to give it
memories too, so that that soulbit has a 'mind' with a goal (i.e. to
cause the reopening of the chamber). i think the magical ability was
provided by the soulbit. Tom needed Ginny to give a bit of herself to
him, in order to be able to take over her body, this is from CoS:-
"If I say it myself, Harry, I've always been able to charm the people I
needed. So Ginny poured out her soul to me, and her soul happened to
be exactly what I wanted .... I grew stronger and stronger on a diet of
her deepest fears, her darkest secrets. I grew powerful, far more
powerful than little Miss Weasley. Powerful enough to start feeding
Miss Weasley a few of my secrets, to start pouring a little of my soul
back into her. . ."
the soulbit in harry has no mind/memories and hasn't been set a goal.
nor has it got any way of communicating with harry in order to get him
to pore his soul into it.
"Listening to the News! Again?"
"Well, it changes everyday, you see" said Harry.
