Hello all

Wow, did she really say that, very interesting.  I have not been on 
this list long but have picked up from other lists a theory that has 
LV and Harry fall through the veil together, that is after Harry lures 
him there.  The suggested outcome being that through sacrifice, Harry 
was able to re emerge.

But sticking to Christian themes, the little I know.  Resurrection, 
well wonder how that will fit into it if true.  Possibly could have 
them all surface for the war, and they way things are going, the extra 
numbers might be needed unless there is a way to prevent anymore factions 
going to LV.  But sticking to this theme.  Ensuring this situation never 
rises again, well, I'm still thinking hard as to how that could be made 
to come about.  Not sure the Christian (bible) outcome of annihilation is 
really workable here.

Still if it is written this way, the next two books will probably have fast 
forward action to tidy all the ends.
