This sort of just came to me, and I'll be recording it as neat as I can. However, I feel my thoughts might be a bit scattered.
Anyway, my theory is that the Nobodies are heavily symbolic. First, starting with the name. The term Nobody obviously means that you're no one. You're not a somebody. You barely have a name given to yourself. The Organization Nobodies do have names, however, it's only an anagram of their previous name. It's not actually theirs..something unique. A vague copy, almost.
But why are nobodies, well, Nobodies? Because they don't have a heart. This means that they lack any real emotions, and once again..begin faking them. More and more things seem to show that Nobodies only exist to copy. They want to actually feel, and they strive to get a Heart, but they only do this through cruel and Heartless ways. If somebody wants to have a heart, they need to experience all emotions, including compassion. Perhaps if they faked that, then they would begin to have a small sense in what it's like to be a Somebody.
These 'Nobodies' can be symbolic of real world people. People who don't act like who they truly are. (A "poser" for a lack of a better word I guess.) They make a name for themselves, and start copying others in which they think is the best way for them to actually fit in (being a Somebody). They want to feel emotion and happiness like all of the other people, but it's a constant mountain climb. They never seem to actually get there, because they keep on trying to be Someone they're not. How can one be truly happy when they can't even be themselves?
Diz says that a Nobody isn't supposed to exist. (Although in the game, I disagree. I feel sorry for the Nobodies, and their story is rather tragic. Which could lead to more symbolism, since maybe one should feel sorry for someone who doesn't even act like themselves.) And maybe it's a message for people to be themselves.
Yeah, feel free to argue and debate about these things. Like I said, it just sort of came to me all of a sudden.
