Private methods overridden?

[Paul Salerno]

I have two different examples which indicate that it is legal to override a private method with one of less restrictions, of course the other statement indicates that this is illegal.
Case 1:

class Base
{
   private void aMethod(int iBase)
   {
      System.out.println("base method")
   }
}
class Over extends Base
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Over myOver = new Over()
      int iBase = 0
      myOver.aMethod(iBase)
   }
   public void aMethod(int iOver)       <----A
   {
      System.out.println("over method")
   }
}
A:  private method of parent is available in subclass as a public method

Case 2:
"A subclass of an object cannot access private variables or private methods of its own superclass." "Private methods of superclass not inherited by subclass or overridden by subclass." "The method in the subclass only shares the same name as the super method therefore the two methods have no relationship"
Again I do thank you for your help in advance.
