Theory

Alright, I've just finished my second read thru of all five books. 
Does anyone know exactly what the word 'vanquish' means?

Anyway, here it is. 

Harry will overcome (The Prophesy never says that the one with the 
power will kill the dark lord, it doesn't)Voldemort by uniting the 
entire magical community, and possibly muggles alike, against him. 
After the uniting, I don't know. But, unifications was a strong 
theme in OOP- anyone remember the sorting hats song??? Think about 
everyone in Harry's life. 

Hagrid- half giant, and already went on mission to recruit them, but 
he was unsuccessful

Lupin- Werewolf, 

Hermione- Muggle born

Dobby- COS and GOF proved just how powerful elves are

Ron- Pure blood, and poor, with a muggle loving father

Fierenz- Centaur, on the outs with the others, but who knows

Trelawney- flaky as she is, but she has performed two very real 
predictions

The Dursleys- Ah, who needs'em, never mind

Merpeople- They all thought Harry was a hero based on his behavior 
in the lake

Harry's famous, and now that the ministry's stopped copping out, 
everyone believes, we assume, Harry's story.

And, now lets think of all the other creatures that Harry has come 
into contact with, who might be useful later

Three headed dog, whatever happened to Fluffy anyway?

Basilisk

Aragog

Hippogriffs

Blast ended skrewts

Grawp! I hope his face is ok

Dragons



My theory isn't complete, it just started coming to me when I was re-
reading. It just seemed to me, that Jo has gone to great lengths to 
place all of these different magical creatures (I'm including 
Humans) around Harry. I still don't think that Harry will be able to 
kill Voldemort, as DD said in OOP-The only one he ever feared-
 "There are much worse things than death, indeed your failure to 
believe that has always been your greatest weakness." In Volde's 
position, what would be worse than death? He's already been deprived 
of a body, and he managed to get around that, what's next? 

And, notice this: This statement came right after Harry watched 
Sirius die, as though Jo was trying to reiterate the point. Death is 
but the 'next great adventure'-PS
