Sorry. I just don't buy it. No way he returns to the muggle world
by some never used magic spell, or something, as a sacrifice.
Squib? Maybe. But not returning him to the Muggle world
entirely. He knows too much. People know too much about him.
Wouldn't work.
Now stripping him of all his powers (all of which came from Voldie
in this theory), that makes more sense to me. He will have to deal
with the realization that without Voldies powers, he was never
special, never a real wizard. His inability to do magic will be hard
enough to swallow, and he'll be capable to exist without it due to
growing up on Privet.
I think the loss of power will come to fruition via his murder of
Voldie. Voldie couldn't kill Harry at Godric's Hollow because of
the Ancient magic his mother performed. IMO, Voldie himself never
could have killed Harry (or vice versa) until that charm was lifted
or equalized. There exists literary correlations to that premise
everywhere.
DD said the charm was in Harry's blood, from his mother. Then
Voldie got Harry's blood at the end of the GoF. Hence the gleam of
triumph in DD's eyes. He now knows Voldie is now vulnerable to die a
human death, as Harry is (an aside though).
Harry will SOMEHOW kill Voldie at the end of Book 7, and in the
process heal the scar on his forehead, and destroy his magical
powers in the process; and probably know about the loss of powers
before he does it. That is his sacrifice. No longer famous,
special, or magical. Just normal and forgotten. His sacrifice.
In the end he will get the family he wants, via the Weasley's and
his better half discovered in later books (no shipping wars here).
JKR will not turn her hero off completely to the world he knows, the
world she created. There will be a sacrifice, but life or muggle-
hood it will not be. IMHO.
