Or, how about this?:

I remember JKR saying in an interview (can someone confirm?) words to
the effect that anyone who knows their Christian Doctrine knows what's
coming up in the series... Now I've been wondering what that means...
At first I thought it meant that Harry was going to, so to speak, "do
an Aslan", i.e. die and then be resurrected...  But then I read this
article in _Time_ about current public obsession with apocalypse/Armageddon
and they said something interesting... And maybe the Bible experts here
can correct me if this is wrong, but they said that the Book of
Revelations says that the Final Battle Between Good and Evil will be
preceeded by seven years of escalating tribulation and strife in the
world...  So here's what I'm thinking:

-- 7 Years of Tribulation = Harry's 7 years at Hogwarts
-- Armegeddon (Christ vs. Satan) = Final battle of Harry's forces vs. V and DE's
-- Millennium (Christ's 1000 year rule) = Wizards ascend to higher plane and
                                           Harry rules them for 1000 years(???)

Is this idea totally insane??
