I remember reading in an interview somewhere that JKR said that she
read LotR as a teen and really wasn't a lover of fantasy reading.  I
can't imagine that she would mirror the story so closely that it would
have the same ending when she hadn't read it for a long time.  I also
agree that if Harry had to become a muggle at the conclusion it would
be a great disappointment for Harry and the readers.  

Hans: 
I posted a similar idea in post No. 104372, "Two Crazy Theories". Part of my
first theory was that Harry would take over Hagrid's job at the end. My idea
came not from Lord of the Rings but from the Alchemical Wedding of Christian
Rosycross, where CRC ends up being gatekeeper. Hagrid is in fact a muggle as
his wand was broken by the MoM when he was 13. He does use magic, but that
is illegal. I repeated my theory in post No. 106899, where I gave this
theory a possibility of 75%. I don't know whether Harry will be stopped from
doing magic when he takes over Hagrid's job. I think it's unlikely, but in
that job he won't need it much anyway.

I would like to repeat my theory that Jo is not basing HP on great stories
and legends of the past. I agree she's doing a lot of research and is
certainly using parts of great stories as sub plots, but the main story of
HP comes from her Inspiration. I'm convinced humanity's spiritual
development is being led by people who have gone the Way of Liberation.
These same people have inspired Johan Andre to write the Alchemical Wedding
and JK Rowling to write Harry Potter. They are also behind the really great
fairy tales and immortal legends like the Holy Grail, and of course the
Sacred Scriptures. Jo does not need to read the Alchemical Wedding to write
Harry Potter. There is a true spiritual development which every human being
will one day go when he's ready for it, and Jo is outlining this development
in symbolic form. I don't know to what extent she herself is aware of the
depth and power behind her symbols. However to get back to Harry taking over
Hagrid's job, or becoming a sort of muggle: one of the tremendous
ingredients of liberation is that an overwhelming compassion burns fiercely
in the heart of those who are nearing the final steps. In fact it is taught
in esoteric circles that the candidate for liberation can enter it in two
ways: facing forwards or facing backwards. Those who face forwards go
through the Gate of Saturn to continue their journey through all the planes
of the Holy Creation, never to return to the dualistic world. Those who face
backwards feel such a deep, gut-wrenching and overpowering sense of
compassion for the rest of humanity still caught in the web of delusion that
they make the decision to postpone their own total immersion in the ecstatic
bliss of Nirvana, or Heaven, or Mount Olympus, call it what you will, and
stay behind as gatekeepers for those who wish to undergo the process of
spiritual liberation. To some this choice may seem an anticlimax, but to
those who understand, there is nothing more beautiful and satisfying than
that the greatest of them all becomes the humblest servant through his own
choice and out of a deep compassion - for us.
