Me (fridwulfa):
Well, I don't know. Maybe if he goes through the veil voluntaryly he can
come back. There are plenty of things we don't know yet about JK's magical
universe, so... But remember that all of us who think Harry will go the
"underworld" and live to tell the tale are more or less basing our theories
on ancient myths, and in all of them without exception the "hero" was able
to return to the "living world" so... How? Your guess is as good as mine,
but there has to be a way, and I'm positive Harry will find it.
THere's something else I think can play an important part later on, and
that's Harry's disposition for self-sacrifice. At the end of OotP, he is
willing to die. I think that's what finally makes LV to leave Harry's body,
not just Harry's love for his godfather, but his eagerness to die and join
Sirius. LV seeks inmortality, Harry knows or feels dying can not be such a
terrible thing if it means meeting with his loved ones again. That's what
makes them different, this particular scene is one of those in which our
choices make a change, Harry choices not to fight LV and allow him to
destroy him in order to be with Sirius and that's what, in the end, draws LV
away. I think we'll see something similar in the final confrontation between
the two of them.
Well, just a few thoughts.
Cheers,
Fridwulfa

Tired, and frustrated because my computer has decided to do whatever it
pleases and not what I want it to do.
