Hmmm...so does this mean Harry will simply sacrifice himself for the 
sake of just about everybody, or does it mean that he will pass 
through death into something greater--or both?  I'd like to hear more 
speculation on the subject.

PoA--Sirius says it in the Shrieking Shack scene, around the point 
where he's taking down Peter.  Whether this is just Sirius' 
perception of what's going on, or if there's any actual weight to it, 
I leave it to yourself to determine.

My theory too--I think Snape really believes (or wants to believe) 
Lucius' cock-and-bull about acting against his will, turning over a 
new leaf, whatever.  Discovering the contrary will probably prove to 
be a key turning point in Snape's character--one which might give him 
the slap upside the head he's needed for a large portion of the 
series.
