So... okay, I keep feeling like I have to apologize because this is 
going to sound dumb.  I'm not saying I firmly believe this is what's 
going to happen, do don't be hostile when you shoot it down.  I think 
it's a possibility Harry will have to learn to forgive Voldemort.  
When Voldemort is directly exposed to that feeling and cannot escape 
it...  I don't know.  But I know that in real life *no* one is purely 
evil.  
<snip really good CS Lewis paraphrase>
So, while I don't think that Voldemort can ever be redeemed at this 
point, I also don't think that he can just face that kind of empathy 
directed at him and flowing directly into him (via the scar 
connection).  I think it would destroy him.

Now me (Laura):
This reminds me of A Wrinkle in Time.  Meg travels to this building 
where "IT" is located to save her brother, Charles Wallace.  "IT" is 
this oversized brain that is responsible for the complete control of 
everyone on the planet they are on.  For one creepy example, when the 
group arrives on this planet, they walk down a street where children 
are outside, playing- but exactly in rythym.  Each child bouncing a 
ball bounces it exactly in sync with the others, and each child 
jumping rope jumps with exactly the same speed.  Now IT has taken 
over her brother, possessed him, if you will, and she must save him.  
And the story says something like (paraphrase) She was sure that if 
she could love IT, it would shrivel up and die right there.  It was 
perhaps not to much to ask of her, but she could not do it.

I completely understand your mush theory <grin> and I think there 
might be something to it.  I think it would be very hard to watch 
Harry pull out his wand and AK someone, I really don't think the 
story will go that way.  It's also rather lame to watch the same 
thing happen again that happened the first time around- ie, LV's 
spell rebounding.  So I think we're going to see something different 
in LV's death (if he even dies) and I think you might be on to 
something.

I think it has been confirmed by many HPFGU posters that Sirius is a 
sexy, attractive character.  Confirmed also by Harry himself when he 
recalls Sirius' younger days as being handsome.

He [Sirius] was very good-looking; his dark hair fell into his eyes 
with a casual sort of elegance neither James's nor Harry's could ever 
have achieved, and a girl sitting behind him was eyeing him 
hopefully, though he didn't seem to have noticed.

Florence???  <evil grin>  

Yes, that's right folks, you have so corrupted me that Florence was 
the first thing that came to mind when I read that line.  Start 
theorizing. =)
