Jen: There's a very interesting theory in the Fantastic Posts 
section called Stoned!Harry, which explores Harry as the living 
embodiment of the Philosopher's Stone. The idea is based on 
alchemical interpretation of symbols in the series, and some of the 
related posts are fascinating.

Anyway, it makes for a good read for anyone considering Harry's 
mortality, and the possibility that he is immortal and will have to 
give it up to defeat Voldemort. I was convinced! After all, we know 
after OOTP Harry is willing to die and wouldn't be impressed by 
immortality in the least. Here's the link:

This theory is under the section called Other Theories.
