Brenda now:

Someone has mentioned (Vivian, was it?) that Vapour!Mort passing 
through Harry at the end of PS/SS would probably be how Harry will 
die at the end of series. Your theory ties in very nicely with this, 
and the importance of Neville and his unusual courage (despite of 
being constantly teased and insecure). I love it! I really don't have 
much to add to your theory, just needed an excuse to say HI.

Uh-huh... [nodding]

Brenda: Heh, I do not want to get into SHIP debate here, but knighty-
Ron won't stay put if both Harry and Neville are... enough said.

Besides, JKR had said this is HER story. No matter how much other 
tales have influenced her, she won't necessarily follow their paths, 
IMO.

Brenda -- speaking of which, how's the search for ESE!Lupin going ;P?
(sorry to rub it in, just REALLY anxious to find out!) HELP!
