SSSusan:
Ummmm.  I guess I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for Harry to 
actually KILL Voldemort?  I can see where it might be that they DO 
end up killing each other/"canceling each other out", but why would 
Harry decide he MUST surrender himself?  Why not just go out there--
as he's shown he's wont to do--and just take Voldy on with the hope 
of defeating him?  If he's successful, then he won't *have* to look 
over his shoulder anymore...not for VOLDY anyway...and he *would* be 
free to move on in life.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't see why it's either 
keep hiding or surrender himself.  Why can't he WIN?

Siriusly Snapey Susan...one of several on this list, I believe, who 
think Harry would have quite a nice life to look forward to, even if 
there is loss & sadness & regret (or loss of powers!).
