Snape went to the good side (Hogwarts, etc.) because he was all emo that Voldemort killed Lilly Potter

So the entire HP series has essentially been a LOTR story? Talk about dragging something out. I can't be the only one that sees a connection between part of Voldemort's soul being put into Harry and part of Sauron's soul being put into a ring. I guess the only difference would be that Harry didn't have to die completely in order to kill Voldemort.
