Alla:

I am afraid not. Not because I don't want him to try to opt out. 
Simply because I don't believe that JKR will go in that direction. It 
will be too complex character-driven writing for her. For Harry to 
try and get out of this, it will be necessary for JKR to make Harry 
dislike Dumbledore even more than he does at the moment and 
accrodingly to paint Dumbledore in even more grey manner than she did 
by now and I think that was the end of the greyness at the end of OOP 
(I am one of those people who believe that Dumbledore did tell Harry 
everything about the prophecy.)

I think that at the most Harry will think about it for a few pages 
and decides that he is going to continue saving the world.

I will be INCREDIBLY HAPPY to be proven wrong though.

I think Harry's temptation will be fascinating plotline, especially 
because I think that he deserves to tell to Wisarding World to leave 
him alone and go look for another saviour other than sixteen year old 
boy. :o)

But of course, if the saviour would have been an adult, half of the 
charm of the series would have been gone.
