Mo:

I don't think Harry is immortal.  I think part of the prophecy is 
that WON'T die from anything and only has the POSSIBILITY/POTENTIAL 
of dying from LV because HP has a knack of getting out of tough 
situations.  You have to admit, the charm placed on him has acted as 
an incredible protectorant.  Harry doesn't want to die, hence, his 
strong will to survive and ability to survive.  That doesn't make him 
immortal.  It just gives him an extra seal of protection.
