The [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Portkey|Portkey]] delivers [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]]'s office, which has been repaired since [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 27|Dumbledore's spectacular escape]]. Harry is, deeply grief-stricken over [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius]]' death and blamesblaming himself for falling for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]]'s deception, rejects friendly overtures from the portraits on the walls, and tries without success to escape the office. Dumbledore soon arrives, to the cheering portraitsand inapplause hisfrom officethe portraits, and places [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fawkes|Fawkes]] tenderly on the ashes under his perch. He tells Harry that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Poppy Pomfrey|Madam Pomfrey]] is tending the other students. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Nymphadora Tonks|Tonks]] was also injured, but she has been taken to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries|St. Mungo's hospital]] and will recover.
 
Harry rages at Dumbledore, but when Dumbledore claims responsibility for Sirius' death, he is subdued somewhat. Dumbledore admits that if he had been more open, Harry would have realized that Voldemort was luring Harry into a trap. When Voldemort gave Harry his scar, it left a mental connection between the two. Voldemort discovered this gateway after [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arthur Weasley|Mr. Weasley]] was attacked, and then began deliberately intruding into Harry's thoughts. That is why Dumbledore insisted Harry study [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Occlumency|Occlumency]] and why he remained aloof all year, fearing Voldemort could use the link to gain valuable information about the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Order of the Phoenix|Order]] through Harry.
 
[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Kreacher|Kreacher]] lied to Harry when he tried to contact Sirius, who was actually upstairs tending to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Buckbeak|Buckbeak]]. After Harry warned [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]] in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dolores Umbridge|Umbridge]]'s office, Snape checked to see that Sirius was safe. But when Harry failed to return from the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Forbidden Forest|Forbidden Forest]], he alerted the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Order of the Phoenix|Order]], who then went to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]]. Snape wanted Sirius to remain at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Grimmauld Place|Headquarters]], but instead, Sirius ordered Kreacher to tell Dumbledore what happened, then went to the Ministry himself. Dumbledore seems slightly abashed at the measures he had been forced to take to get Kreacher toldto Dumbledoreadmit that he lied to Harry about Sirius, and that Kreacher's instructions came from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Narcissa Malfoy|Narcissa Malfoy]]. ThoughSirius' heorders washad still loyal to the Black family,prevented Kreacher was magically prevented from betraying the Order directly, but he was able to reveal enough information to Narcissa to lead Harry into a trap.
 
Dumbledore defends Snape, saying he had to behave as if he disbelieved Harry's warning while in Umbridge's presence to protect his position within the Order. Dumbledore also discounts Harry's accusation that Snape used Occlumency to open Harry's mind to Voldemort and reiterates his complete faith in Snape's loyalty. However, heHe regrets not teachingbeing able to teach Harry himself, fearingas he had feared Voldemort could access his thoughts, and was concerned about the use Voldemort would make of knowledge of the connection between Harry and Dumbledore. His selection of Snape was made because of Snape's mastery of the skill, but he had underestimated Snape's deep, lingering resentments towards [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/James Potter|Harry's father]].
 
Even though many Wizarding families offered to adopt the orphaned infant, Harry was placed with the Dursleys for a particular reason. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lily Potter|Lily Potter's]] sacrificing herself to save her child created a magical shield that has safeguarded Harry from Voldemort. However, Harry must live in his mother's blood relatives' home to maintain the protection—that relative is [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Petunia Dursley|Aunt Petunia]]. Convinced Voldemort would return, Dumbledore's priority was to keep Harry safe. The [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Howler|Howler]] Petunia received was Dumbledore's stern reminder that she was obligated to protect Harry.

== Analysis ==
 
Much that has been hidden in the series is now revealed. First and foremost is the Prophecy; this one item explains why Voldemort has singled Harry out as his main target. It also explains why Harry is the hero in this series; if the Prophecy is true, and the Wizardswizards generally believe it is, then Harry alone can defeat the Dark Lord, and the Wizarding world's sole hope rests with him. We also see Dumbledore's love for Harry, his fear for what would happen if Harry learned too soon about the burden the prophecy has placed on him, and to some small extent the efforts that Dumbledore has made to protect Harry and, as much as possible, nurture him.
 
As a side note, Dumbledore's revelation of the Prophecy also teaches us several things: first, that thoughts can be preserved in crystal spheres; second, that it is possible to extract a copy of a thought from a wizard's mind while retaining the original; and, as we saw the recording of the prophecy after the sphere was broken, that a Pensieve is not necessary to replay these extracted thoughts. We surmise that the crystal spheres in the Ministry, used to store prophecy recordings, are charmed in a manner similar to the Pensieve, but we have as yet no way to be certain. One thing that the reader should pay attention to is that this information about the nature of Wizarding thought is presented organically; it is all the more easily understood because it is simply presented. This exemplifies the prime rule of writing: show, don't tell.
 
TheseThe haveprophecy, and Voldemort's attempt to recover it, of course, have affected the course of the entire series so far, and likely will also affect the final two books. We also learn exactly why Dumbledore had acted aloof towards Harry, and why he had wanted Harry to learn Occlumency. Additionally, we learn that Snape acted correctly when Harry warned him. This seems to reinforce Dumbledore's opinion of, and trust in, Snape. Harry, however, believes Snape had somehow engineered matters such that Sirius died, and he cannot be convinced otherwise. Examining what Dumbledore says, and the sequence of events, we can see that Snape believed Sirius was safe at Grimmauld Place. It is unknown whether Snape goaded Sirius into going to the Ministry, or whether Sirius decided this; Dumbledore believes it was solely Sirius' decision, but Harry, if he chooses to contemplate this, refuses to believe it was. However, considering Sirius' reckless and impulsive nature, his pent up frustration at being confined and feeling useless, as well as his paternal need to protect his godson at any cost, it seems nothing could have compelled him to remain at Grimmauld Place while the Order rushed to the Ministry.
 
We also learn that Dumbledore can make serious mistakes. Until now, Dumbledore had seemed largely infallible. Aloof as he always was, and somewhat unknowable, his pronouncements were invariably accurate. Here, we see Dumbledore admitting his failures in not telling Harry sooner what was prophesied for him, of attempting to have Snape teach Harry Occlumency, and in a somewhat backhanded manner, of failing to properly explain why Harry must bar Voldemort's thoughts. These latter two errors have fairly major consequences. Snape's attempts to teach Occlumency to Harry, surrounded as they were with Snape's bias against Harry, and Harry's distrust and dislike of Snape, only strengthened the link between Harry and Voldemort. And being unaware that Voldemort could plant fake images into his mind resulted in Harry being lured to the Ministry, and in Sirius' death.
 
One interesting and nearly hidden point occurs late in this chapter. Dumbledore tells Harry that the power he has that Voldemort cannot understand is love. It was that deep love, for his parents and Sirius, that protected Harry from Voldemort possessing him. Voldemort fled Harry's mind because ''"he could not bear to reside in a body so full of the force he detests."'' This could be a factor in later books.
 
Harry, meanwhile, is roiling in turmoil—simultaneously experiencing rage, grief, and guilt at Sirius' death. Although Dumbledore explains why he withheld vital information and reveals the entire prophecy, it does little to console Harry. He now understands his ties to the Dursleys, and though his relationship with Petunia will likely never change, he now realizes that it is she, through their blood connection, who stands between him and Voldemort. And though Petunia has no love for her nephew, she continues to fulfill her obligation to protect him; Harry knows he must continue to endure living in her home until he comes of age. And now Harry has a new burden to bear: either he or Voldemort "must die at the hand of the other".
