One of the big questions we all have (and Harry too)is how is Harry 
going to defeat LV.  I rememember thinking back to SS and CoS and 
wondering how Snape could be so mean and "dark" and yet be on the 
side of DD.  I wonder if these two ponderies could be related.

We know that James saved Snape.  I wonder if that act of "Love" - a 
big theme in OotP and Harry's great power LV can never have - was 
enough to strip away Snape's ability to help out the Dark Lord so to 
speak.

In that, what if Harry actually "saves" LV and that destroys him as 
well? - because DD has told LV that dying is not necessarily the 
worst fate to meet (obviously not word for word quotes, but my book 
is not right here with me).

I don't believe that Harry will lose his power.  We all know how much 
Harry loves Hogwarts - he seems very "Snapelike" in his attitude 
towards Hogwarts - it is his home.  Stripping him of his powers and 
making him spend the remainder of his life in a Muggle world where no 
one cares for him or understands would be worse than death for Harry.

Anyways - I know it is a stretch, but after all they are just 
thoughts.

Happy rereading,

Epona
