5 The Hierophant
To use Dumbledore for this card was a no-brainer, because he is a guardian, guide and mentor to so many, he inspires loyalty and is a figure of respect, he leads at Hogwarts, where young witches and wizards first learn what it means to become a responsible and knowledgeable member of their society, and he truly represents all that is good and honorable in the wizarding world.

7 The Chariot
"The Chariot" stands for the hero setting out on his quest. Traditionally it shows a figure encased in armor atop a chariot drawn by sphinxes. So it was fairly easy to jump from there to the Hogwarts Express, the "chariot" for young wizards and witches to take them out on their quest, to learn about magic and about themselves. Incidentally this is also the first card that does not feature a figure or figures.

9 The Hermit
Snape is essentially in a league of his own, blending in neither with the Order members, nor counting himself among the Death Eaters. He keeps his own counsel and does not reveal much about himself. For Harry he is also a mentor and guardian, someone who has harsh lessons in humility, who shows Harry things about himself (and his father) that he does not want to know and to recognize. But when it comes to the crunch, he will always try to keep him safe.

11 Strength
Well, there are no lions in the Potterverse, if we discount Gryffindor's lion, but I felt that Hermione and Buckbeak would make for a good replacement. I liked how she kept stringing him along in the movie with Hagrid's dead ferrets and built a good rapport with him.

12 The Hanged Man
Still Snape teaches us a valuable lesson as the subject of this card. If we fight it (by lashing out and calling a good friend a mudblood, for example) we're only making it worse. This card can only be effectively dealt with by accepting a certain amount of humiliation and loss of control and bearing it with patience. The Sin-eater or the Sacrifice are better archetypes to tap into than Pride and Wrath.

17 the Star
Traditionally the Star shows a young woman pouring water into a star-lit lake, but for the HP Tarot I felt that the journey of the first-years across the lake to the school would make a good syumbol for the meaning of the card.
The journey may be dark and scary, but at the end of it all there are welcoming lights, brightness, warmth and good food. And once you are there you can discover your own talents, learn and grow, find friends and encouragement along the way.
