I think Harry is being groomed to take his place beside some very

of Book Seven (corrected from Five) is that no one person will defeat 
Voldemort. I think it will be a battle royal, with the best of each 
group defeating V's best attempts. 

I would like to expound on my own theory a bit, since I have been 
thinking of this ever since I posted it and then had to go to work. 
It was quite distracting ...

I wonder why Harry was so special, but I think Dumbledore knows. 

I do not think it was a coincidence that AD had Hagrid pick up the 
P/S Stone from Grigotts the same day that he and Harry withdrew 
Harry's money. Had Hagrid not been trying for days to get one of the 
letters to Harry? Would it not seem likely, that while he was 
waiting, he could have popped into Gringotts & got the Stone? Or, 
Hagrid could have gone at any other time previous to picking up 
Harry ... unless it was meant to be a test.(Is Harry a wise enough 
wizard to figure out what Hagrid took from Gringotts and is Harry 
wise enough to figure out where it is hidden?)

Likewise, I do not think that it was an accident that Harry found the 
Mirror of Erised, or given the invisibility cloak, or that his 
ability to fly on a broom is only important for Quidditch.  

Somehow, I think that each of Harry's triumphs was guided along ... 
and met some "criteria"  which is necessary for the final defeat of 
Volemort.

In all of folklore, there is always some set method of destruction 
for the evil monsters of the tale. Vampires are killed only by 
driving a wooden stake through their heart, werewolves must be shot 
by a silver bullet, etc. 

I think there was some magical combination of elements from the  
start ... something that had to do with the very birth of Harry ... 
something that AD knows about and that Voldemort either knew or found 
out about via his spies. Perhaps the original plan was something that 
James & Lily were in on .. and that was why it was so crucial that 
Voldemort kill James ... and maybe he was not going to kill Lily 
because he was going to "use her" to raise Harry ... for his own 
purposes, rather than that purpose for which Harry was born. Maybe 
that is what Lily was really trying to protect Harry from ... and 
also why Voldemort stated that Lily didn't really have to die.

Now, that the plan has all gone amuck, and Harry has reached an age 
of reasoning and is against Voldemort, he is left with only one 
choice. Destroy Harry before Harry becomes old enough and strong 
enough to destroy him. And I still hold with the idea that it can not 
be "just Harry" who does this ... but a special combination of 
beings; but with Harry as the most crucial part of this force.
