What an interesting thread! I can certainly see a big, dramatic 
confrontation at the end, in which Harry will use everything he 
has learned in the course of the series, but as for LV projecting 
into his mind, I also suspect that he will be persuaded to learn 
occlumency, even if it has to be from someone other than Snape 
- perhaps Lupin since he is going to take a while to forgive DD 
for having apparently let him down?
