yes, my reading of it exactly. See my post 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/66829.

Following on from myself again (shame-faced)
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Harry dragging 
Voldy through the veil. Because if Harry is willing to sacrifice 
himself, he could be returned to the land of the living, as a 
'bodhisattva', so he can finish his 'work' on earth. It would have to be 
a purely selfless sacrifice though, and not because he wants to see all 
his loved ones again. So I stay steadfast to my DeadLand!Harry theory, 
that Harry will make contact with the dead, and yet not die.  That would 
make sense of JKR mentioning the possibility of Harry dying at the end, 
and yet leave him around for a sequel. Quite apart from all the 
religious parallels ;-)
