 My thinking is more along the lines of the emotional - that 
> Harry will use (ugh!) Love to vanquish Voldemort. I'm not fond of
that, but to me it seems the way it's going to go down.

Now Me:

I tend to agree that Love (no ugh!, so long as she keeps her normal
not too sappy style for us) will be a major theme in the final
showdown. As I was rereading the prophecy, I noticed that the word "a"
was missing: He will have (NO a) power the Dark Lord knows not.
Because of this, I fully agree that there will not be (succesful)
duelling between the two of them-- rather, as we have seen Love help
him so many times before (fawkes' appearances representing
dumbledore's love, lily's sacrifice, the love for sirius repelling
voldemort, even Neville's loyalty to Harry buying the order time to
get to the department of mysteries), it will come into play in the
final moments, with either a surge of everyone's love for Harry saving
him or spurring him into his final sacrifice of himself for them.

Becky, who hates that she's so sure Harry will die and knows she'll be
angry for months.
