Jim Ferer: "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."

Jim Ferer: 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.

Jim Ferer (in an upthread post): JKR has said in an interview 
something to the effect that there are Biblical parallels to her 
story and that those familiar will the Bible will figure out what's 
coming.

Bookworm:
The thought of Harry being thrown back into the muggle world after 7 
years in the WW just doesn't work for me. He would be woefully 
unprepared to function as an adult in that world.

However, another Biblical analogy might fit: Abraham's sacrifice of 
his son. If Harry willing sacrifices his powers to defeat Voldemort, 
would the "ancient magic" then allow him to keep them? (A variation 
of John 15:13 – Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay 
down his life for his friends.)
