I have to point out that this reminds me of the alchemy ending posed 
on thinkpotter.com-- that the seventh step is combinining/merging, 
and that JKR made her the 'heart of it all' comment right after 
someone asked about unlikely pairings, so that the gist is that the 
end product is some kind of meld of Harry/Tom.  (You can look this up 
on the thinkpotter.com site, and for more on alchemy, see John 
Granger's _Hidden Key to HP_- a good r/h point about sulfur/mercury!)
