Uh-oh.  Cindy, don't take this the wrong way or anything, but, well, 
I want a surviving Harry.  I just kinda like the kid.  I guess I'm 
just not as Tough as you

Thank goodness Dicentra's given us a kayak now, `cause that water 
looks awfully cold

I mean, you're probably right.  I remember posting myself on the 
symbolism surrounding Harry as a Christ figure.  But that doesn't 
mean I like it.

Ok, how about this for a Bangy scenario?  In order for Harry to give 
up his immortality, he must go through a dangerous, life-threatening 
procedure of some sort.  Something even Dumbledore's nervous about 
doing.  Then Harry gets captured by Voldemort.  Harry decides to do 
the procedure himself, knowing he may die in the process, to keep V. 
from getting immortality.  It's all very risky, but he succeeds.  
Then, somebody frees him (maybe Lupin, getting killed by Wormtail's 
silver hand in the process??).  Now Harry still has to defeat 
Voldemort, `cause V's ticked, you know, and wants him dead; but he 
doesn't have the backup of being immortal. 

But, *sigh*, really, Dicentra's dashed my hopes, reminding me about 
the beheading scenes in GoF:
<<Is that Bangy or what? Not only does Harry have to die to take 
Voldemort out, but it will end up being by Ron's hand. (Whether it's 
good!Ron or evil!Ron I cannot say at this time.) And his head comes 
off, too! BANG!>>

Oh, crap.  You know, you've got something there.  It would definitely 
be Bangy.  And remember in PoA, when Harry and Ron got up together 
from the table of 13? Yep, I can see Ron bringing about Harry's death 
& dying right after

:jumps up and down: That's what I think!! It answers the question 
of "what did Dumbledore do to be considered Flamel's alchemy partner, 
since Flamel had already made the Elixir of Life by the time 
Dumbledore was born?"  Cinnibar=philosopher's stone=dragon's 
blood=Harry

<< Oooo...what if Dumbledore created TOM RIDDLE with the potential 
for immortality because of the prediction about a Dark Lord Trelawney 
or whomever made (thinking that *Tom* would be the Light 
Lord),<snip>>>

I like this; your `younger, less wise, but still not evil Dumbledore' 
idea.  I mean, Dumbledore's made mistakes here and there, but to 
seem
 real, I think he needs a big one in his past.  This would be 
good.

undo the damage he had caused.>>

Umm
 I like this on an intellectual, theoretical level.  But for 
Harry's sake, I hope it's not true.  Wouldn't that just be awful?  
Harry's spent all this time wishing for a normal life.  To find out 
that he was socially engineered, that the loss of his parents and 
childhood and everything was Dumbledore's fault
 that would just be 
terrible for Harry.  But (grins evilly) it would be interesting 
fiction, wouldn't it?
