Oh, I like this. In fact I like this a lot. Sure, let Harry lose 
superpowers which he got from Voldie and just let him be the "normal 
wizard". That's what he seems to want more than anything in anyway - 
to have a normal life. But let him lead this normal life with the 
people who love him and whom he loves.

He! I sure don't want to see Voldemort on the broom. Somehow I 
imagine a very unattractive picture. :o)
