First appearance in the story: Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall bent forward over the bundle of blankets. Inside, just visible, was a baby boy, fast asleep. Under a tuft of jet-black hair over his forehead they could see a curiously shaped cut, like a bolt of lightning." (PS, ch. 1, pg.17)
Death: Voldemort had raised his wand. His head was tilted to one side, like a curious child, wondering what would happen if he proceeded. Harry looked back into the red eyes, and wanted it to happen now, quickly, while he could still stand, before he lost control, before he betrayed fear - " (DH, ch. 34, pg.564)
Rebirth Dumbledore beamed at him, and his voice sounded loud and strong in Harry's ears even though the bright mist was decending again, obscuring his figure.
"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" [...] He was lying face down on the ground again. The smell of the Forest filled his nostrils." (DH, chs.35+36, pgs.579+80)
