Dumbledore Explains the Connection Between Harry and Lord Voldemort

PAGES: 827-828

Dumbledore begins explaining to Harry the long-standing connection between him and Lord Voldemort. He recounts how, 15 years ago, he suspected that Harry's scar was a link between them. This connection, amplified after Lord Voldemort's return to power, has allowed Harry to feel Lord Voldemort's emotions and presence. Dumbledore's attempts to protect Harry by keeping his distance failed as Lord Voldemort became aware of the connection.
