Of course, if he was a really Machiavellian type of villain his most
effective ploy could be to influence Harry to do nothing, to opt out of the
fight. That would leave DD in a hell of a mess. <

Nice thought, but if the Voldmeister could really control Harry *some*, why
wouldn't Jo just have LV eventually gain control of Harry *entirely* for a
brief period of time--perhaps when he's already despairing over something
else. Fun! And, I say, bring on the deaths!

It'd make for great writing and reading--and lots more emotional strain on
poor Harry--if LV took him over, had Harry's body kill someone (Colin?) in
front of witnesses, then left Harry to fend for himself against the
powers-that-be. Poor Harry'd have to run, go into hiding, or perhaps just be
locked up. And if he were temporarily on the run from the whole MoM/WW,
including aurors, teachers and friends, that'd be deliciously horrible.

Thanks, Kneasy, I like your idea. At least it'd be one good way to inject
some over-the-top banginess into HBP without violating what we already know.
Plus, it'd force Harry to decide to save the WW despite its hatred of him--a
potentially nice bit of plot development that'd get toward making Harry the
hero we all hope for.
