今天TIME杂志在FB分享了一篇有趣的文章，我看还没人贴，就来和大家分享一下。

以下是非常精简的我流简译及大意说明：
有读者推论，故事中有三个现世的角色刚好对应《死神的圣物》里的皮福雷三兄弟：
大哥是佛地魔，致力寻找不败的魔仗，以期能够打败死神，最后却被死神摆了一道；
石内卜就像二哥，想要用重生石唤回已逝的爱人；
三弟则是哈利，用隐形斗篷一次次躲过死神。
那么与故事中的死神相对应的人是？ 邓不利多。
邓不利多在哈利“死后”，与哈利在国王十字车站进行一场精彩的对话。
而更有趣的是，他在书中是唯一同时持有这三样死神的圣物 (第一集时把斗篷交给哈利
第七集时将遗物“金探子”留给哈利，里面装着重生石；最后将接骨木魔杖带入坟墓)。
这个说法是还满有趣的啦。文章里面还有提到其他的推论，有兴趣的话来看看原文吧：
This Is The Latest Harry Potter Theory Driving Muggles Mad
Ashley Ross @ashbrookeross Aug. 6, 2015
The theories that lived...and lived
If we’ve learned anything about the Harry Potter series over the years, it’
s that fans will never let it go. Numerous theories and questions about the
plot tend to swirl through the Internet like memories in a Pensieve, but a
recently resurfaced 2014 Tumblr post is causing Muggles everywhere to stop
and question everything.
In the final Potter book, we learn about The Tale of the Three Brothers, a
wizard fairy tale unfamiliar to the Muggle-raised Harry. The story is that of
the Peverell Brothers, who cheat Death, and receive rewards as a result: the
unbeatable Elder Wand; the Resurrection Stone that brings people back from
the dead; and the Invisibility Cloak, which conceals its user. These three
items are often referred to as The Deathly Hallows, hence the name of the
final book.
A common theory has compared Harry, Snape and Voldemort to the brothers.
Voldemort is the oldest, murdered in his bed by someone who sought the Elder
Wand. Snape is seen as the middle brother, who was driven to suicide after
resurrecting the girl “he had once hoped to marry, before her untimely Death.
” Harry as the youngest brother, who escapes Death with the cloak until
giving it to his son, greeting “Death as an old friend” and going with him
gladly.
The Tumblr user, though, posits that Dumbledore is Death. “He greeted Harry
at King’s Cross and was the one behind Snape and Voldemort’s death….He’s
the one who gave Harry the invisibility cloak too…And he had the stone and
the wand too.”
Of course there are endless other theories about the three brothers,
including one that names Dumbledore as the second brother, because he pined
for his sister Ariana, who died at a young age. And one hypothesizes that
Dumbledore is a descendant of the first brother, who crafted the Elder Wand.
Then there’s also a theory that supposes Dumbledore is just an old version
of Ron Weasley sent back in time to help Harry defeat Voldemort. Which just
proves that these theories, much like the series, will never face Death.
