Del replies :
Harry is the main character until book 7. There won't be any more
books after that, and so no more hero.
And if the Good Side is stupid enough to leave vengeful powerful DEs
free, who could turn into new Dark Lords in just a few years, then
they really deserve to have yet another war on their hands, but I
don't think Harry should feel forced to join in that one.

Del replies :
But Harry isn't the only hero here. Ron is one too. And yet you say he
will retire. Not logical.

Del replies :
I don't follow you. Harry's desires are never going to be fulfilled
because they *can't* be fulfilled. Ron's desires, on the other hand,
*can* be fulfilled, so why shouldn't they be ??

Del replies :
Yes, exactly, Ron wants to *stand out*. He does NOT want to be ordinary.
