Reflection #2 : Who are the Three Brothers in the Three Bothers Tale?

            I agree with the fan theory about the Three Brothers Tale that is told in JK Rowling's book 

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1” and here's why. First of all, this new “Fan Theory” 

about Albus Dumbledore being “death” in the Three Brothers Tale, in my mind, is spot on! This 

particular fan of Harry Potter who brought about this theory on his/her Tumblr “harryjxmespotter” 

uses the evidence that “Dumbledore greeted Harry at King's Cross” and also that Dumbledore was 

“behind Snape and Voldemort's death”. This information goes hand and hand with what happens in 

the Three Brothers Tale! Death greats the third brother after death finally finds him and Death is 

what took away the lives of both the first and second brother. However, this isn't the only proof that 

we have of Death being or representing Dumbledore. For example, another interesting fact that 

proves that Dumbledore is Death is that Death gave the third brother the invisibility cloak. Similarly, in the first Harry Potter book, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone”, Dumbledore gives Harry his 

fathers invisibility cloak that his Harry's father gave to Dumbledore after his death. 

             Secondly, not only do I agree with the theory that Dumbledore is death, but I also agree that the three brothers are Voldemort (Elderly/first brother), Snape (Middle brother), and Harry (the youngest brother). Voldemort and the oldest brother line up almost perfectly. Voldemort is just as 

power hungry as the eldest brother is for the wand in this tale. Also, Snape fits the part as the middle brother so well because, like the middle brother, Snape lost the love of his life (Lily Potter) and, although he didn't kill himself to reunite with her like the middle brother in the tale, he fantasizes about her and holds on to the memories of her. For the youngest brother, Harry Potter fits into that character like a glove. Harry, like the middle brother, possessed the cloak of invisibility for one; secondly, Harry sacrifices himself to kill the Horcrux (object Voldemort uses to conceal Harry's soul), as did the youngest brother sacrifice himself for his son. These are the reasons why I believe this Fan Theory to be true.
