Hello! Greetings to everybody on the group from a newbie ^_^. While
reading the HP canon for the umteenth time, I've come up with a few wild
guesses that I have not seen raised before in either FAQ or the fanfics
I have read... therefore, I would like to share them with you all, so
they might be shot down properly. (If this subject has been discussed
before, I would be grateful if someone would be kind enough to provide a
pointer to the previous discussion, thanks in advance!)
1) Voldemore will be undone. Not killed; not AK'd (reflection or no);
not banished; undone, as in having his ressurrection spell -- and
perhaps all his 'immortal research' spells before that -- unraveled.
The reasons: notice the three components of Voldemort's spell:
b) The bone of the father -- the father who was Voldemort's first
victim, whom Harry can 'call up' with Priori Incantum:
a) The flesh of the servant -- the servant who owes Harry a life
debt, and who Harry is thus the true master of;
c) The blood of the enemy -- Harry himself!
Thus, of the three ingredients to ressurection, Harry has Mastery over
all of them! No wonder Dumbledore had that evil glint in his eye -- by
lending Harry such power over him, Voldemort had sown the seeds of his
own destruction not once, but three times over! (BTW, I suspect that
Voldemort does not know of The Rat's life debt towards Harry. He
certainly knew nothing of Harry's wand being asister of his own. I
think Voldemort is *very* worried right about now... but still does not
relaize the full extent of Harry's power over him.)
Therefore, I think Harry will use this power to negate the spell that
'holds Voldemort together', thereby destroying him.
2) Voldemort will be stripped of his powers. This is pure speculation,
but
'I don't think he had enough human left in him to die.'
as said by Hagrid, Voldemort did not die even when hit by a
(reflected) AK. Therefore, I would guess that there are really few ways
to 'kill' him, if it can be done at all. The most physical damage, or
another AK, could do, I think, is to reduce him back into the 'formless
cloud of malice' state. Also, I personally do not think that JKR will
have Harry kill anyone deliberately -- not even someone as evil as
Voldemort. Therefore, my guess is that Harry will use his power over
Voldemort to stripe Voldemort of all his wizard powers -- "Voldemort
gone forever. All that is left here is Tom Marvolo Riddle -- this
wretched, despicable middle-aged Muggle." Hah! That would be Justice!
There. I am done. Now, I will save this file somewhere on my hard
disk, so I can see just how many miles off the mark I am when the books
come out in the future.
Zeyoung.
Ps: for those three people who are interested, "Ogthrod Ai'f"' is the
first verse of the reverse-resurrection spell in H.P. Lovecraft's 'The
Case of Charles Dexter Ward'.
