Jim Ferer (me):"The vision I get is Harry somehow giving up his
magical ability in order to take away Voldemort's ability; the
ultimate destiny of their magical and blood links."

Pippin:"Yeah, that's what I've been saying too. And I've thought of a
way it could happen. We know that some of Harry's magical abilities
came from Voldemort. Suppose they all did? Suppose it's Harry, not
Neville, who was the natural-born squib. So when Voldemort finally
dies, Harry's powers vanish forever."

You've got the loss of magic running the other way than my hypothesis.
If that's how it happened, it would negate my hypothesis entirely,
which is that 

1)Harry, in some way yet unknown, gives up his magical ability;

2)because of the links between Harry and Voldemort, Voldemort's
magical ability is likewise removed; and

3)Voldemort is destroyed, since he is not naturally alive and exists
only because of magic.

In this scenario I don't know where a resurrection would come in,
unless Harry's magic was restored afterwards, which seems to me too
much of a nudge nudge, wink wink, happy after all, TV ending.

What attracts me to this notion is that this is really a greater
sacrifice to Harry than his life and a powerful moment.  I certainly
don't have any proof.

P.S. As I was about to hit the button it came to me what form a
"resurrection" could take: Harry, bereft of everything that had made
his life meaningful, is accepted and honored in the world he saved - a
kind of rebirth?  Reborn and accepted just for himself, not for what
he can do.
