I don't think we've seen any role model yet in the books for what 
Harry will become. He is sui generis. Perhaps life after Hogwarts for 
Harry will depend more on finding out what Harry IS, and not on 
finding out what Harry's going to BECOME. There's more to that boy 
than Lily's sacrifice and LV's marking him as an equal. How did he 
get to be the subject of a prophecy in the first place? There is 
probably something independently special about him. Just as LV is 
unprecedented, a creature of his own making, I believe that Harry 
will similarly turn out to be unprecedented, something special apart 
from the gifts from Lily and LV. I hope that in spite of this, JKR 
will give Harry some simple peace and fulfillment in his life, no 
matter how long that life turns out to be.
