MAE now:
I have to admit, I've never read "The Alchemical Wedding", although
since joining this BB I have put it on my must read list.  I do very
much agree with several of your points.  I do think HP is in the
process of spiritual liberation.  However, I would think that at the
conclustion of the jouney Harry would be one of those who would face
forward, but I'm just not sure JKR is going to have Harry die.  I do
think it is possible that Harry will go through the veil and return,
but I'm not totally convinced of it.  I think that there are
similarities through all these books mentioned here, but that JKR may
come up with a conclusion that is a surprise to us all.
