SSSusan:
I don't know. [Shudder.]  I'm not so sure I'd want a de-magicked 
Voldy out there, royally pissed off.  I don't think it'd take him 
long to pick up how to use an uzi.  

And while I love the idea of Harry somehow getting off the hook for 
having to kill Voldy [you know, vanquish vs. kill], deep down I do 
want Voldy to die.  I'm not at all keen on Voldy living, 
even "reduced to" a Muggle, nor am I especially keen on the idea of 
a Redeemed!Tom somewhere inside Voldy who can live while essence-of-
Voldy (or Sally) dies.  


Luckdragon64 replies:

While I agree that Voldemort deserves to die, so did Peter and when Harry spared his life he set a precedent and showed that his self restraint is what may save him in the end. If voldemort is forced to live out his life as a muggle he will receive more punishment than he would in death(he would be jailed of course). Also were Voldemort to die who is to say he would not come back as an evil spirit who cannot be done away with at all(100x worse than the bloody Baron). Remember Sir Nick's "Some ghosts choose to stay".

Just a thought...
