Number 4 Privet Drive: 4 Friendships

So, this will be a (hopefully :) ) shorter post following the whole number four thing - just another observation from book 4. To recap the champions: Harry = Fire Cedric = Earth Krum = Water Fleur = Air Now, CS Lewis (one of JKR's fave authors) wrote a book called The Four Loves, which I have not read and do not know for sure what the types are, but I am pretty sure there is a pretty close correspondence with the types of love I will speak about here as 3 types of friendship. The place you find them in Goblet of Fire is in the choices of hostages in the 2nd task. Notice, the 2 "sub" elements of earth and water, Cedric and Krum, both have their romantic interests taken, the persons of the opposite sex. Whereas fire and air, Harry and Fleur, have same gender friends/hostages. Fleur must defend the friendship known as family, and Harry that of his "Kindred Spirit." On Harry and Ron, in both Hebrew and Greek the word for ""breath" and "spirit" are the same word (in Hebrew it is Ruach, In Greek Pneuma) ... and what is Dobby excitedly jabbering to Harry when he wakes him? "Harry Potter must get up and go save his Wheezy!" (my poor housemates have also heard this cry echoing from my shower occasionally) Don't know if she had that in mind or not (meaning the Wheezy as "wheezing breath" thing, the rest of it I'm pretty sure seems very intentional - but think about how the twins adapt the family name in book 4 as well, might be important LOL), I just think it's really cool
