I think Harry will have to sacrifice his magical powers and his 
place in the Wizarding World. There is  canon support for the 
idea that a wizard can lose his powers. Neville is the best 
example. We know, from interviews, that the Hogwarts quill 
writes down the names of all children who are magical enough 
to attend Hogwarts in the year that they are born. Yet Neville's 
family thought he was "all Muggle for ages"  and were afraid that 
he wasn't magical enough to come. How could  there be doubt,  
unless they thought something had happened to Neville's 
magic after the quill had written his name? 

Lupin also says that "Dementors are supposed to drain a wizard 
of his powers if he is left with them too long."
