Help! DH Question!

[gin_tonic]

Okay, the question might appear kinda weird and/or dumb, but:
Does anyone of you know if the baby that is mentioned when Harry visits King's Cross at the end of the book is supposed to be a piece of Voldemort's soul? His innocence or something like that? Or is it just a baby who maybe has just died?

I don't understand why it's a baby precisely but I believe it's meant to be the piece of Voldemort's soul that Harry has been carrying around with him since Godric's Hollow. When Harry "died" his soul and that bit of LV's died but he went back again, whereas recall that Dumbledore kept telling him there wasn't anything he could do to help the baby thing.

Sounds logical, doesn't it? *sigh* And it destroys my wonderful theory about what the baby meant. Granted, saying that it symbolised Harry's unborn child was maybe a bit ... too mpreg-obsessed, but it fit so well into the story I'm writing on. XD

Honestly, I don't see why you can't just say in the notes-yes, the interpretation I've used in the fic is different than canon but so what.

Ha! You're right! I really should do that. I like my interpretation better than creepy!soul!baby anyway. Thank you! :D
