What if the opposite were to occur?  What if, in the end, Harry had 
to obsorb *all* of the magic Voldemort possesses and then once in 
that snake faced, red eyed, evil state, find a way to expel the parts 
that he does not want in order to live his life.  Perhaps the 
sacrifice Harry makes in the end will be in his understanding that he 
could, without a doubt, be the most powerful wizard of all time but 
would spend his life in a constant battle with himself to keep the 
evil overlord thing in check.  And hence, he releases the powers and 
becomes "just Harry" good old standard wizard, ready for a life free 
of Voldemort.

Although JKR has never guaranteed Harry would live, the loss of his 
magical power would in essence be his death, as would living 
vicariously through the people around him.  I would rather he die out 
right than live his life with the devastation of living with 
no/limited magical power.

That's what I think anyway!

Sue (suehpfan) who hopes JKR finds a way to shock us with the end of 
the series as she has done so many times before!
