yup yup...there is an amazing amount of irony...the most powerful 
dark wizard out there should fall at the hands of the son of the two 
most famous good wizards out there and end up putting a bit of 
himself into this kid.  You know, I might be one of the only people 
out there who think this...but I found Lily and James a bit far 
fetched...a little toooooooo perfect.  They seem so...perfect and 
squeaky clean...not that James didn't have his moments of trouble-
making...but on the whole, I see no "dark side" to either 
individuals.  

Since JKR uses the theme of "things-are-not-what-they-seem", wouldn't 
it be interesting if Voldemort *PURPOSELY* killed himself at the 
hands of Harry?  Some kind of elaborate plan to give people a false 
sense of security (now that he's "gone"), his essence can grow 
safely, unknown, in a muggle household and eventually end up getting 
into Hogwarts...
And what better family for Voldemort to get into...the son of James 
and Lily Potter, the most brave and honorable Wizarding couple out 
there.  Harry of course, grows up to be a brave and proud Gryffindor, 
just like his parents.  Little does anyone know that the essence of 
Voldemort is slowly taking control over Harry and perhaps this is 
where Harry has to make that self-sacrificing choice to get Voldemort 
forever?  
Btw...I really like that LoTR comparison...very cool!  Sorry if this 
idea had already popped up somewhere...hope it isn't too insane...
