Dumbledore believes that somewhere inside Harry, some bit of 
Voldemort lurks. We know that Voldemort can be regenerated 
from the merest scrap of existence, "less than spirit, less than 
the meanest ghost."  We've also  seen many times that Harry 
would rather face death than be parted from the magical world. 
That makes me think that separation, not martyrdom, will be the 
sacrifice which is the price of Voldemort's defeat.

Not only might Harry have to give up his powers in order to defeat 
Voldemort, he may have to let the magical world believe he is 
dead. That could be the only way to make sure that no Death 
Eater ever finds him and tries to regenerate the part of Voldemort 
still surviving in Harry.

H/H Shippers: would you find it a satisfying conclusion if 
Hermione left the wizarding world in order to be  with Harry?  
Does the appeal of  H/H rest in the closeness between Harry 
and Hermione which JKR has depicted, or in the romantic, not to 
say Ginny-esque, fantasy of lovers  whose heroic powers set 
them apart from everyone else?
