Hear, hear!

AmanitaMuscaria now:
You're right, of course. I think Harry's petulance in OOtP has 
distracted me from his essential (in all senses) goodness.

AmanitaMuscaria again :
This is where the theories leave me feeling like the snake that 
swallows its own tail!

AmanitaMuscaria again :
Yes. I concur. But what, then, are the possible results? The one I 
find logical is that they both die, only for the cycle to restart. 
But what about another thought? Linking in to the phoenix theme 
running through the series, and the phoenix feather wand cores - I 
wonder what Tom thought when he got his wand, by the way? Would that 
have sent him on his quest for immortality?
I wonder if the two of them destroy each other in the 'final battle' 
to be reborn a phoenix? It's just a stray thought that wandered into 
my brain unbidden ... 
But how can you resolve the opposition of the embodiments of good and 
evil? Surely neutrality, as they should cancel each other out.
Cheers. AmanitaMuscaria
