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
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
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.
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
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.
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".
