Are Soul gazes inherently subjective?

(1/7) > >>

SerScot:
I was think ming about how Harry mentioned that every Wizard perceives Soul Gazes differently.  Some as pure sound… others as visions… Then it occurred to me how differently people react to being Soul Gazed by Harry and perceiving his soul in return.  Molly was already crushing on Harry and her crush only deepened.  Rudolph’s partner is terrified by Harry and tells him to stay the hell away from him.  Marcone sees Harry as someone dangerous but useful to him.

Are soulgazes inherently subjective based upon what the person being gazed brings to the interaction?

Of course they are subjective. That does not meat it is false.

Exactly, it is how the gazer interprets them that is important.  An experienced soul gazer understands that what is seen is truth, but that truth is complicated.  Take what Harry saw in Molly, at sixteen looking into her was like looking into a kaleidoscope, so many futures were before her both the dark and the light, all were true aspects of her personality, but none dominated yet.  That is why he felt that she could still be pulled back.

Yes, but given the inherent subjectivity… how much good hard objective data really comes from a “soulgaze”?
