There is nothing crazy about this theory. In fact it's the best one I've
ever read in this group and it fits in precisely with my own theory, which
is on file in the Group's Essays:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/Essays/
It's called "Harry Potter - Christian Rosycorss in Jeans". I hope you'll
read it.

I quote from it:"To understand how Harry Potter will defeat Voldemort and
liberate himself from his finite consciousness, we need to look at the
prophecy.  Part of this says ...and either must die at the hand of the other
for neither can live while the other survives... This is strongly
reminiscent of a sentence in "The Voice of the Silence", by HP Blavatsky.
Verse 56 says, "The Self of matter and the SELF of Spirit can never meet.
One of the twain must disappear; there is no place for both." This is the
key to understanding the prophecy. Harry will not kill Voldemort. The divine
soul does not fight. It always withdraws from conflict and radiates love to
take its place. Evil always destroys itself in the presence of love, and
that is what Voldemort will do." 
You talk about compassion (what a beautiful word). Compassion is an aspect
of love. Whoever has love has compassion. Compassion makes you step inside
another's skin and experience his suffering as if it were your own.
Compassion also causes one to feel a sharp pain at the realization of WHAT
MIGHT HAVE BEEN. There have been some eloquent and moving posts about the
similarity between Harry and Tom Riddle, and how one chose selflessness and
the other selfishness. If Harry feels compassion for Voldemort it will be
for what Tom Riddle could have become if he had made the other choice. And,
yes, compassion causes one to forgive. Yes I think it will indeed be
compassion and forgiveness that will be Voldemort's downfall. 

You have written your theory in a style which gives the impression you don't
want to be considered sentimental or soppy. Perhaps you thought that if you
called your theory crazy then other people wouldn't do it. Dear Friend,
there is nothing soppy about compassion. It is a power which liberates both
the giver and the receiver. If you can think of a more noble and divine
emotion, let me know. I can't.

If your theory is crazy, let me join your club!

With thanks,
Hans in Holland
