Suppose that Killing Curse just bounced off the night Voldemort died, just refused to work for some reason. If “magically embodied preference for death over life” haven’t worked on someone, I would pretty much say that it means something.
Also, possible foreshadowing in chapter 5:
“I have formed an idea...” said Professor McGonagall. “After meeting you, that is. You triumphed over the Dark Lord by being more awful than he was, and survived the Killing Curse by being more terrible than Death.”
Funny to think about, but probably I just see patterns where there are none.
remnant of the other
My a bit stretched interpretation is that Bayesian Conspiracy and Chaos Legion are Harry’s remnants.
Funny to think about, but probably I just see patterns where there are none.
The part I’ve emphasized is oft called apophenia: “the experience of seeing meaningful patterns or connections in random or meaningless data.”
In this case the data isn’t random, but it may well be meaningless (i.e. not foreshadowing). I find the concept of apophenia a valuable way to understand how e.g. astrology seems so potent to so many people. Also conspiracy theories, etc. The apophenic tendencies of humans underlie many biases etc.
