I'm also a believer that there's more to Harry surviving the AK curse
than the excuse that Lily saved him with her love. Why would it only
work for her, and never anyone else? It's ancient magic, that apparently
one of the most ruthless wizards has forgotten. Wouldn't you think that
with all of V's killing people would do anything to protect their love
ones - like learning ancient magic? I just think that if this were
really the case, many more people would've survived the AK curse.

I love this theory that Harry's the living stone. He also wouldn't
actually have to die an early death defeating V either - just give up
his immortality, like Flamel did by destroying the stone. Flamel gave up
his immortality, because it was the right thing to do to destroy the
stone. This way no one else would have the chance to use it to become
immortal. If Harry is the living stone, then V will need him to become
immortal, and if Harry gave up his immortality, than V will have lost
out in that particular venture.
