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.
