Geoff:
Why not? There are examples of people, famous for one reason or 
another, who have later managed to stay out of the public eye and 
live pretty normal lives.

Meri:
Fair point, Geoff, but remember, Harry's not just famous. He's a 
marked man, as he describes himself at the end of Order. He also 
feels at the end of that book as if he were completely seperate from 
the rest of his classmates allready. So how do you imagine he'll 
feel once he's been at the center of a violent struggle in which he 
is the only hope for the survival of an entire people?

Bookworm <De-lurking while desperately behind in the posts.>:

Voldemort marked Harry; once Voldemort is gone/defeated/vanquished 
Harry won't be marked any more. And while Harry will be at the 
center of the struggle, I suspect that there will be so many friends 
and allies who help him get there, that he will be one hero among 
many. He feels alone now but I think that will change when he learns 
to trust others to help him.
