Also, Tom is taking on more and more physical form. I
had thought that once he kills Harry (during the
conversation with whom he gets more and more
corporeal) he will finally be "alive"/functional as a
person because of the life-force he sucked out of
Ginny. If that is so, he has more than one reason to
kill Harry.

1. Harry wants to rescue Ginny. If Ginny is rescued
and weaned off the diary his own coming-alive process
will end. He might end altogether if diary is
destroyed.

2. Once he is alive, Tom would probably follow the
Voldemort path (take over the world a la evil
overlord), and from Harry's previous history, young
Potter could be dangerous to those plans:
      a. he is a goody-goody that tries to get rid of
evil overlords (1yr old, PS/SS), so might cause future
problems
      b. he has the power to cause evil overlord's
(Tom's in this case) downfall, since he managed to do
so with Voldie, Tom's older self.
      c. Voldie thought Harry needed to be dead, and
since Tom and Voldie share the same brain, and were on
the similiar path, Voldie's decision to kill HP, even
though Tom's doesn't know LV's reasons, has to carry
weight. (he's a "predessesor-in-interest" in legalese
:))

3. Tom's revengeful. Harry caused harm to his future
self. So of course he has to die.

Intersting thought: if TMR regained his body, would
that mean that there are two Voldies running around:
one the 16yr version, and another the psycho brain in
Albania?
