Valky:
Just as an aside, I could not agree more. I was so very happy to 
finally see the human side of James. And despite his short comings I 
thought he was actually probably quite sweet and insecure. Now don't 
laugh :( ... many of the most arrogant and proud people in the world 
are only so because of their insecurities! 
(and I thought the embellished LE on his notepad was a sweet 
romantic touch to him that I refuse to overlook, I love a good 
romance!)

Now the point of my post;

Valky: Again I agree with you to a degree only this time.
I believe that Harry will pity Voldemort at some stage absolutely 
yes, but I don't agree that this will be his resolute opinion on the 
matter. 
In fact, I think JKR will take it the further step from pity for Tom 
to another feeling. A feeling of unconditional love.

More than pity him I see JKR finding a way to show that Harry 
unconditionally forgives Tom for Voldemort and decides in himself 
that he can show Love to Tom. 

*shrugs* 
I Don't know how, I have faith in Jo's genius, though. 
He will do it not only because noone ever really has, but for more 
reason than that.

*again shrugging*
I don't know why. I HAVE to leave that one to JKR.
