Well, whaddaya know? I did search the archive for "immortal" but I 
missed this theory! I'd like to think, though, that Harry would be 
wise enough by the final book not to desire everlasting life (in stark 
contrast to book 1, in which he and Ron think Dumbledore is nuts to 
suggest that the Flamels are content to finally die), so he wouldn't 
have to "give it up" in order to defeat Voldy. Also, suddenly being 
able to die doesn't mean it's certain he will die at, what, 18? He'll 
just have to be more cautious, like the rest of us! :)

As for the scar thingy in book 7, oops! Yes, the scar vanishing idea 
is just speculation, isn't it? Sorry about
