It all comes down to just how Dumbledore put the Philosopher's Stone in the Mirror. Only the one who wanted it for the right reasons, and not for treasure, could retrieve it. I posted on the Dumbledore thread http://hogwartsprofessor.com/?p=118#comment-11786 how this theme runs throughout the series from beginning to the very end. The whole series is, in a way.

Christine, it sounds crazy to say so, but I think those two quotes pivotal to understanding HP. My feeling is that HP is a narrative exposition of Matt 6:19-24. Yes!

Did anyone else note that the quotations on the graves in Godric's Hollow were directly from scripture? The quotation "Where your treasure lies, there also will your heart be." is from Matthew 6:21 and the quotation "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." is 1 Corinthians 15:26.
