At the end of OoP, Harry is depressed because he feels the only 
choices available to him are for him to become either a murderer or 
a victim.  All of the time imagery in the final climatic scenes  
(the Death Eater with the baby's head, the time turners repeatedly 
breaking and remending themselves), gave me an idea.  What if there 
is another way. What if there is a way to save Tom?  If Tom is saved 
the Dark Lord is destroyed. The other alternative scenario seems too 
melodramatic for JKR, IMO that is for Harry to drag LV into a death 
with him, maybe through the same veil that Sirius fell through. I 
cannot believe that Harry only has two choices.  It's too pat, too 
contrived.  I think we're being mislead.
