PDog: Thanks, my little 'Voice of Reason' you! I think I might have heard you before but unfortunately I "never listen!" (As my dear old Gran used to say). Wait! WAIT! ? What for, when I know I'm so close to figuring it ALL out myself!!! *eyes boggling, manic head swings, frothing at the mouth and clutching at the thousands of pieces of paper strewn all over the room with quotes and theorems written over ever inch in microscopic writing* I tell you I've got it this time!!!

Sorry *long, deep sigh*

harry fan_100%: As you rightfully say "Back to the topic": I agree that Harry will face Voldemort alone in the end and I think he will kill him. As we have discussed on other threads, however, I don't believe that this will be easy for Harry. The fact that Jo calls the act 'murder' (she says that Harry must be a victim or a murderer) not only points to the deep ethical delema that Harry will face but also the profound ethical comment that Jo is making: 'Killing ANYONE isn't easy or heroic, EVER!!!'

Again, as we have discussed on other threads, I think that Harry's ability to kill/ murder, is complicated not only by ethical issues but also by the fact that we don't know if he can kill Voldemort. (Go to 'Voldemort Has Harry's Blood' and 'Can Harry Kill Voldemort' threads for discussions on this) We don't know what relationship Harry and Voldemort have because of the scar - it implies so much and has hinted to even more. We also don't know if Voldemort can kill Harry. (See other threads' discussions please because it's really annoying to have to do the same discussion from the beginning again every time - even though we always seem to end up in a different place!! Weird!)
