Well, we both have an active (some would say over-active) imagination 
and a desire for  blood-boultered mayhem, but regretfully I can't see
Jo allowing Harry to be elbow deep in the tripes of some poor innocent.
Not that I can't come up with a list of names  deserving the ultimate 
sanction -  no doubt you can too. Ah, well, maybe in a TBAY. Luna
stalking the beach as the WW's only surviving brain transplant donor,
perhaps.

But it's possible that somebody close to Harry may snuff it as an
unintended consequence of Harry's actions or inactions. Plenty of angst
and remorse. Might get him to smarten up his act. 

But certainly the possible lack of restraint on the fragment of Voldy that
is already there - well, it  does give one hope for some truly nasty
happenings.  He could move into Slytherin for a start. Then he could 
eventually see the error of his ways and become the 'good' Slytherin that
everybody has been waiting for.
