Geoff:
Don't forget that the Narnia books are an allegory of Christianity. 
Someone remarked recently on Aslan's death on the altar. Remember 
that this was a representation for children of Christ's sacrifice on 
the Cross and, as with the Resurrection in the real wordl, Aslan 
returned to life.

We all have to die. As I have said in the past, I see Harry as 
a "type" for the Christian's journey through life. We all have to die 
sometime. I would however, like to see Harry free of Voldemort and 
the burden he has been for the last few years and not becoming 
mundane or anything like that but being able to live a bit, do things 
he would like to do and not have to do, marry one or other of the 
ladies trying to catch his eye in the books and just be a relatively 
normal member of WW society, allowing for his fame.....
