I think themes and events are building towards an ending 
where Harry makes the hardest decision of his life and gives 
himself up in some form to defeat Voldemort once and for all.  
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 responded: 
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.
 

Carol adds:
Except that his flying ability and its offshoot, his Quidditch skills,
seems to be inherited directly from James. We've yet to see Voldemort
on a broom, and there's no indication, IIRC, that Tom Riddle ever
played Quidditch. So I don't think Harry would have been a Squib,
though I agree that he would have been much less powerful--an ordinary
wizard kid like Ron--if he hadn't acquired most of Voldemort's powers
at Godric's Hollow. I think he'll lose those extra powers and be left
with his own inborn talents and whatever skills a wizard can acquire
through education and practice. (Who needs Parseltongue and
Legilmency, anyway?)

Carol, who's interested in seeing what other skills Harry acquired
that aren't really his own
