An interesting thought! It sounds as if you're positing an almost Buddhist idea of a single 
soul working off its karma until it gets it RIGHT. Hope it's one of the forms of Buddhism 
that allows for enlightenment within this plane--I'd hate for Harry to have to die at the end 
of the series. At least, not permanently. ;-)

There is--alternately--an interesting theory that was bantered around for a while late this 
summer that perhaps LV tried to possess Harry before killing him. That a portion of TR is 
in fact trapped inside Harry. This would explain some of the powers that were transfered 
into Harry, as well as some of the resonance between the two of them. Also the funny 
voice (no, not the one that sounds like Hermione, the other one) that Harry sometimes 
hears, as when he's trying to shake off the Imperio in GoF. According to one version of this 
theory, that remaining bit of TR's humanity will in fact be the agent for LV's final 
destruction.
