This is hard to explain, but I compare it to positive and negative numbers. A star would be positive, a black hole negative. As the stars gravity makes it collapse, its 'number' gets smaller. when it finally reaches the black hole stage it is a negative. That is not the theory, but it helps to explain.
Since a star keeps all gravity as it shrinks, couldn't a black hole be like a mirror reflecting a stars 'positive' number, appearing as the opposite of it, and the star is its true gravitational pull?
