Rosebeth:

Tom, while I agree with quite a bit of your post I have to disagree 
with the idea that James wouldn't use the AK on LV.  There has been a 
lot of discussion lately about a mothers love for her child.  Why not 
the same for a father's love?  

I don't doubt that the voice that Harry hears is James.  James knows 
that LV is coming to destroy his family.  It's my belief that James 
is going to try to whatever he can to save them, and if that means an 
Unforgivable Curse, then so be it.  Like a gunfight in the old west 
LV was just faster.
