The Gleam of Triumph

Ok I apologise if this thread has already been created but I couldn't find it in the search.......

Ok we know in book 4 when Harry tells Dumbledore that Voldermort got over the problem of his Mum's sacrifice by returning by using Harry's blood. When Harry tells Dumbledore this he has a gleam of triumph in his eyes for a split second. What's this all about? Rowling said it would be important to book 7. This thread is for your theories on the gleam of triumph and to ask you guys what you think of my theory.

My Theory.

Dumbledore seems happy that Voldermort overcame this barrier, but why? If Dumbledore was one of the Order why would he be happy about this barrier being broken down? Unless it did the exact opposite........

My theory is that Lily Potter's Sacrifice is a deep magic (Dumbledore says in book 1 some people call it love) which is in Harry's blood. When Voldemort was returned to power Harry's blood was used so it also resides in Voldemort. But what if it didn't break down the barrier, just create a new one?

Think about it, the very spell that was in Harry, protecting him from Voldemort is now also in Voldemort. The only thing that was stopping voldemort from killing Harry was that spell which is now inside Voldemort. Voldemort can't kill Harry because his blood is full of the very thing protecting Harry, Lily Potter's love 😱 That's why I think Dumbledore was so happy ✅ It's a long stretch but it makes sense ✅

Any thoughts or opinions?

Very interesting theory.

yea

Or Now if he kills Harry he'll die automatically.

😐

pretty much and it fufills the prophecy without Harry being a murderer ✅

Pfft. Harry killed Cedric. He told him that they both would grab the Cup mhm

Ok, even assuming that it was Harry's fault, how is that related? 😕

how isn't it related?

No seriously, I'm confused as to how it's related to the gleam of triumph? 😕

Nicely thought out Will, I love that such a seemingly small detail grabbed your attention, it's usually the things we overlook that turn out to be the most important.

I definitely think Voldemort's use of Harry's blood to return will end up playing a large part in his eventual downfall. Unfortunately I also think Harry will pay the price as well. I haven't actually given much thought to how it's all going to turn out because, for once, I want the 'finale' to be a surprise 🙂

Cheers 😄 and fair enough ✅

BUMP

Oh.

Thanks.

No problem 😛

That's not true. It's not Harry's fault that Cedric was such a hard headed boy. He told Cedric to get back to the Port Key, but Cedric didn't listen. He just stood there like an idiot saying "Why". So Cedric died because he was stubborn! That's my theory! 😄

I actually just realised it wouldn't mean that. It would mean that Voldemort can't kill Harry as his blood is full of the same spell.

It kinda relates to the whole prophecy thing as well ✅

oh wow, excellent point.
but if they both can't be killed because of the "love" how will voldemort ever die?
Harry can't kill him because of the magic but if he doesn't kill him the prophecy won't.. work? i don't know.
that's a really good theroy, it's nothing i would never think of.

Good question 🙂

Well there are two answers to this........

either
a) Dumbledore said the prophecy isn't destined to happen it just will because voldemort won't give up hounding Harry. If this theory is true maybe the prophecy won't come true because of the spell.

Or the more likely answer is that
b) Well like Barker already said if Voldemort kills Harry he will die. I disagree. Maybe if Voldemort tries to kill harry he will die.

Basically what I mean is that the "love" from Lily Potter's spell was protection for Harry, not voldemort. Therefore maybe Harry can kill Voldemort but not Voldemort killing Harry.

hmm, yeah that makes sense, the "love" was only meant for Harry, hopefully the spell doesn't reside in his blood. but i think you're right in saying that if Voldemort tries to kill Harry that it will kill him, because in the 4th book when Voldemort and Harry battle it out The whole thing with the connecting of the wands happens. but if the "love" wasn't there the spells would probally just bounce off eachother.
