What my son Harry believes about the Dark Mark

[heidi]

He doesn't think it's any ordinary snake.
He thinks it's a Basilisk head.

I told him I'd ask my friends and see what they think.

Makes sense given that Tom was the one who produced it and he was the one who could control a basilisk. Plus they have a much more sinister connotation than a regular snake. Harry can talk to snakes, but I don't believe he would have been able to control a creature that seemingly full of hate.

Interesting idea.. I like it.

Works for me! It did come out of Slytherin's mouth in the Chamber of Secrets, after all.

We all knew you had a bright son. (How old is he now?)

I think it's brilliant. And I also don't think I'll ever be able to see it as a normal snake again.

To be fair, a basilisk head would be WAY COOLER.

That makes sense...I think the basilisk may have more symbolism to offer, because of its eyes. JKR kept saying that Harry's [mum's] eyes will be important, and the basilisk's power comes from its eyes, so . . .Just a thought. Kudos to your Harry, Heidi, for inspiring more deep thought =]

hummmmmmm, neat!

Agreed! :)

Hm. He could be onto something, there.

I've never thought of that, but it's a good plan. Your kid is clearly smarter than I am. :p

Wow,that's a really good idea. It could very well be true.

Hmm, never thought about one but it makes so much sense! kudos to him because now that I think about it, even if it isn't, it should be and now will be in my Hogwarts world.

Out of the mouths of babes. Smart boy you've got. I don't think that would have ever occurred to me. Makes perfect sense though.

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

Hm. Interesting! And certainly possible.

[jnpsmama.livejournal.com]

That makes perfect sense to me! The Basilisk did come out of Slytherin's mouth in COS, so it could just be that.

Smart kid!

That would be a pretty BIG tattoo! *g*

I assume you know about this?

Your kid is a genius.
