Well, if you go for analogies between HP and JC, why stop at the 
sacrificial death? What about the resurrection? With our modern 
embarassment with miracles, we sometimes tend to forget that 
redemption comes, for the believer, with the resurrection of Christ 
(true, in order to be redeemed you have to first die with Christ, but 
redemption *is* the resurrection). 

Come to think of it, Harry already represents a miraculous victory 
over death, as the only known person to survive the Avada Kedavra 
curse. Possibly he will repeat this overcoming of death in some form 
in the future?
